The steady-state chaotic behaviour of power systems containing dc switching elements is displayed in multiple run diagrams. Poincare sampling bifurcation diagrams, maximum and minimum peak voltage diagrams and diagrams showing all peaks in a waveform indicate transitions in behaviour, overvoltages and waveform distortion respectively.
