Abstract 

It is often the case that the frequency response data of a system or a network is available and one wants to identify a linear equivalent from the frequency response data for time-domain simulations and other purposes. To this end, a variety of methods have been proposed, and the vector fitting (VF) method and the frequency-partitioning fitting (FpF) method are often used for electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations of power systems. The main applications are frequency-dependent transmission-line modeling and frequency-dependent network modeling, but they should be applicable to various engineering and scientific problems where a pole-residue representation of a linear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system has to be identified from its frequency response data.

Instructions: 

In this zip file, MATLAB code of the FpF method is provided. Ref. [1] below describes the code in detail and can be used as an instruction manual. The code is fully functional and can be used as a functioning software package of the FpF method. As an example, the file "test_fit.m" performs the fitting of the verification case shown in Section III of ref. [1]. For this case, the frequency-response data of the three-by-three admittance matrix of a 500-kV transmission network is provided as "test_data.mat" (for details, see ref. [2]). The mathematical descriptions of the FpF method are given in refs. [2]-[4], and its applications to the frequency-dependent modeling of overhead and underground-cable transmission lines are shown in refs. [5] and [6] respectively.
