Introduction There are many successfully developing models using fractional calculus in engineering and applied sciences. Power transformer is one of the most important and critical devices in power systems. There are many kinds of transformer device s such as power transformers, voltage transformers and current transformers in power systems. It is of great theoretical significance and practical value to research EMC problems and transient simulation analysis. And the transformers can be regarded as transmission line. The applications of transmission line models are wide in power systems, high-speed circuit and microwave circuit [1, 5-6]. In order to obtain the transfer characteristic of electromagnetic waves along the transformer devices, it is necessary to sol ve the wave equation from the Maxwell equation by the boundary and initial conditions. In general, there are two conventional methods based on field theory and circuit theory [7 -11]. The electromagnetic processes and its physical significances can be described more meticulously by field theory, such as the finite difference time domain method (FDTD), the finite element method (FEM), the method of moment (MOM), and so on, whose calculations is complex. The calculations can be simplified by circuit theory whi ch can be divided into the lumped parameter circuit model and the distribution parameter circuit model. The transmission line parameters are frequency-dependent. With the frequency rise, the frequency-dependent effects of transmission line become more and more remarkable, such as skin effect, edge effect and proximity effect, etc., [2-4]. To obtain accurate characteristics, these effects should be taken full account when calculating and simulating the frequency-dependent transmission line. In the paper, each turn of the ISSN: 2005-4246 IJUNESST Copyright ⓒ 2015 SERSC International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.1 (2015) transformer windings is seen as a transmission line. However, in practical, there are tens of thousands of turns in transformer winding, and the order of parameter matrix is very large, so there is a necessary to reduce the model order. In this paper, we deduce a fractional-order model based skin effect for frequency dependent transmission line model. In order to solve the equation quickly, we define a new plane based on the Laplace transformation and propose a model order reduction method for the fractional order system. 2. Fractional Order Transmission Line Model When the high-frequency current flows through the transformer devices, the parameter matrices of transmission line are frequency dependent [2-4]. The skin effect should be considered in modeling of transmission line. Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor, and decreases with greater depths in the conductor. The electric current flows mainly at the "skin" of the conductor, between the outer surface and a level called the skin depth [12]. The studies of the skin effect for cable and transformer devices have bee n mature [13-18]. The skin effects in the windings are modeled by resistive impedance, i.e. Z R 1 j 0 . In 1972, Norris S. Nahman and Donald R. Holt proposed using the skin effect approximation A B s in applications to transient analysis. An experiment core type transformer winding is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. An Experiment Core Type Transformer Winding Each turn of the transformer windings is considered as a transmission line. As is shown in Figure 2, the transmission lines are coupled and lossy, and have end to end connection. 240 Copyright ⓒ 2015 SERSC International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.1 (2015) U S (1) I S (1) US ( 2) I S ( 2) US ( N 1) Un (1) I n ( 2) Un ( 2) I n ( N 1) I S ( N 1) I S (N ) US (N ) In (1) Un ( N 1) I n (N ) Un (N ) Figure 2.

Using the similar methods above, the equations of multi-conductor transmission line model in transformer are obtained. However, the parameter matrix P is irreversible because of the boundary conditions for multi-conductor transmission line. As is shown in Figure 2, the boundary conditions of fractional order multi-conductor transmission line model for transformer winding can be expressed as i n , M i n 1 ,0 u u n 1 ,0 n ,M u f t 1 ,0 u 0 o r I N , M 0 .... N ,M n 1, 2 , ..., N 1 (11) In the form of formula (9), there are 2 M 1 N equations which are dependent, so there is a need to simply further them in the form of independent equations. After the elimination of the corresponding voltage rows and current columns, the 2 M 1 N dimension equations turn out 2 M N 1 dimension equations.

The Definition of S (12) -plane and its Applications The Laplace transform method is widely used in mathematics with many applications in physics and engineering [20-23]. The definition of one-sided Laplace transform and its inverse form are shown in formula. (13) and (14).

F s e st f t d t , s j (15) f t 1 2 j j st e F s d s , 1 R e s (16) 2 j We use the one-side form as the defaults in this paper. For zero initial conditions, the Laplace transform of fractional derivatives of order (Grunwald-Letnikov, Riemann-Liouville, and Caputo’s) can be expressed as d L f dt t S F S (17) In mathematics and engineering, we call it the S -plane for the complex plane on which Laplace transforms are graphed. Here we define a new plane named S -plane, in which S = + j , and we denote this kind of transform by L . Then we get formula (18) by the L transform from formula (12) as an example L 0 .5 dy ˆ Qˆ y Qˆ P d t y 2 ˆ ˆ ˆ S 0 .5 P S 0 .5 Q s Q dt d s 0 .5 0 .5 (18) Where y t meets the zero initial conditions. Notice the right side of formula (18), based on the definition of S -plane, we propose a new kind of derivative which denotes as 244 Copyright ⓒ 2015 SERSC International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.1 (2015) D d Then dt D , D 0 .5 0 .5 f t d 0 .5 d 0 .5 t f D t , d (19) 2 f dt t d 0 .5 d 0 .5 t 2 f t (20) Where eq.

In addition to this, there is also a typical application for the commensurate-order linear time-invariant system in the fractional order different equations (FODE) system. And the fractional-order linear time-invariant system can also be represented by the following state-space model (Matignon, 1998): 0 D t x t A x t B u t y t C x t q Where x R n , u R r and y R and A R n n , B R n r , C R q1 q 2 pn p (22) are the state, input and output vectors of the system q q1 , q 2 , L , q n T are the fractional orders. And if qn , system (20) is called a commensurate-order system, otherwise it is an incommensurate-order system. Using the L transform, system (22) can be equivalent to d x t A x t Bu t dt y t Cx t (23) And there is much kind of model reduction methods for system (23). 5. Balancing Method for Model Reduction and Time Solution Model reduction is an efficient technique to reduce the complexity of large-scale systems. It is a key issue for control, optimization and simulation. There are Krylov subspace and balancing on the whole [24-25]. And there are several types of balancing exist [26-30], such as Lyapunov balancing, stochastic balancing, bounded real balancing, positive balancing and frequency weighted balancing, etc. Consider a standard second order linear time-invariant stable system [31-32] & & & t D q t K q M q & y t P q t Q q t t B u t (24) Copyright ⓒ 2015 SERSC 245 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.1 (2015) Where M , D , K R n n with M assumed to be nonsingular, u ( t ) R p , y ( t ) R q , q (t ) R n B R , n p P,Q R , qn . The model reduction algorithm: 1) Start with a second-order form realization M , D, K , B, P,Q Perform a singular value decomposition (SVD) on M to get M Z 1 Z 2T . Define: 2 : Z 2 1 2 and 1 : 1 2 Z 1T 2) Coordinate transform by 2 and multiply the differential equation on the left by 1 to give the realization I , 1D 2 , 1K 2 , 1B , P 2 , Q 2 3) Compute a balancing (either free or zero velocity) transformation and coordinate transform so the resulting second-order system is balanced. Let 1 2 n 0 be the (free or zero velocity) singular values. Assume r r 1 for some r . 4) Multiply the differential equation on the left by T get a final balanced realization, M b , D b , K b , B b , Pb , Q b 5) Partition the coordinate vector as Q1 r q , q1 R Q 2 Mˆ M b 22 M 6) Block partition M b compatibly as M b 21 b12 And also block partition the other matrices compatibly as Dˆ Db D b 21 Kˆ D b12 ,Kb D b 22 K b 21 Pb Pˆ Pb 2 ,Qb Bˆ K b12 , Bb K b 22 Bb2 Qˆ , Qb2 7) Then the reduction order model is given by Mˆ , Dˆ , Kˆ , Bˆ , Pˆ , Qˆ Firstly, we calculate the coefficient matrix of formula (9) with the fractional order transmission line model and compact finite difference method. Then after the L transform, we make the reduction for the formula (21) with second order balanced truncation. Combine with the new distributed distance points, the voltages and currents can be calculated. According to the definition of Grunwald-Letnikov, the limit can be removed when the time step is very small, similar to the formula (25) D y t Where 246 K 1 h y,t N 1 j j0 1 h 1 y t jh j ! j 1 N 1 j 1 j = 1 j ! j 1 1 h y t y t jh 1 h N 1 j 1 j 1 y t jh j ! j 1 = 1 h y t K y,t (25) . Copyright ⓒ 2015 SERSC International Journal of u- and e- Service, Science and Technology Vol.8, No.1 (2015) Put formula (25) into formula (10), we get y t e 1 where A A 0 h AS At y 0 t e 0 A t As K y , A f f d (26) .

Conclusion In this paper, the fractional-orer model based on skin effect for frequency dependent transmission line is deduced. Through the discrete space, the fractional partial differential equations turn into fractional ordinary differential equations. However, the size of coefficient matrices and equations of the deduced model is very large. In order to solve the equation easily and quickly, a new plane and a new derivative based on the Laplace transformation are defined, and then model order reduction method for the proposed fractional order system is applied. And combine with the new distributed distance points, the voltages and currents can be calculated.
