Practical Guideline to Selecting Curve Fitting Options


It is recommended to always use the default parameters of the Frequency Dependent (Phase) Model for setting curve
fitting options.

However, there may be occasions where it is required to change the default parameters for certain overhead
line/underground cable configurations. These should be changed very carefully. A poor parameter selection may cause
inaccuracies in the simulations, or sometimes instabilities due to passivity violations. The following table gives a practical
guideline to selecting the proper curve fitting parameters.

A common issue using any phase domain model is that the possibility of unstable simulations due to passivity violations.
This is mainly caused by the error introduced by the curve fitting of the transfer function. In such cases, the below
suggestions may help to obtain the stable simulation.

1. Reduce the curve fitting starting frequency – (e.g. 0.1, 0.01,0.001 Hz)
2. For underground cables, select the Saad formula or Numerical Integration as earth return formula in the Ground
Plane component
3. Verify the curve fitting parameter options (see table above)
4. Verify curve-fitting results (Log File)
5. Enable DC correction (specially for HVDC lines) with proper shunt conductance
