Grounding Grid Performance of Substation in Two Layer Soil - a Parametric Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
During ground faults, fault current flows in the ground which results in potential gradient and ground potential rise (GPR). The potential gradient affects the safety of operating person due to step and touch voltage and GPR affects the insulation of protective devices and control cables. The potential gradient and GPR are the functions of ground electrode geometry. In this paper, performance assessment and analysis of grounding grid is carried out for different types of grid electrodes with two layer soil model for both positive and negative reflection factor K. The simulation is carried out to evaluate grounding grid performance indices such as Ground resistance, Mesh voltage, Step voltage, Ground Potential Rise. The various parameters used for the simulation are, depth of ground grid, Number of meshes and length of ground rods. The results are tabulated, and discussed. The SES Autogrid Pro grounding software, Canada is used for the analysis.

متن کاملOptimal Design of Grounding System for HV/ EHV Substations in Two Layered Soil
Successful operation of entire power system depends to a considerable extent on efficient and satisfactory performance of substations. Hence substations in general can be considered as heart of overall power system. In any substation, a well designed grounding plays an important role. Since absence of safe and effective grounding system can result in mal-operation or non-operation of control an...
متن کاملApplication of Electromagnetic Field Theory to Measure Correct Grounding System Impedance: A Parametric Analysis
Measurement of the grounding system impedance of a substation or power plant is often required immediately after construction, in order to verify that the design calculations correctly predict the performance of the system. Years later, new measurements are sometimes required to check that the performance of the grounding system has not deteriorated. This type of measurement, however, which is ...

Abstract—This paper presents the electrical effect of two neighboring distribution substation during the construction phase. The size of auxiliary grounding grid have an effect on entire grounding system. The bigger the size of auxiliary grounding grid, the lower the GPR and maximum touch voltage, with the exception that when the two grids are unconnected, i.e. the bigger the size of auxiliary ...
