Parallel Computing Aided Design of Earthing Systems for Electrical Substations in Non-Homogeneous Soil Models

چکیده
An accurate design of grounding systems is essential to assure the safety of the persons, to protect the equipment and to avoid interruptions in the power supply. In order to attain these targets, it is necessary to compute the equivalent electrical resistance of the system and the potential distribution on the earth surface in fault conditions. In this paper, a numerical approach for grounding analysis embedded in stratified soils and its implementation in a high-performance parallel computer are presented. The feasibility of this system is shown with its application to the grounding analysis in layered soils by using the geometry of real grounding grids.

HV Substation Earthing Design for Mines
-High Voltage (HV) substation forms important assets for the mining industries. The existences of these substations necessitate earthing design to ensure safety compliance to the mine regulations. The HV system within the mines is consisted of multiple substations which are connected throughout and underground cable. These substations provide the load with the required electrical power to perfo...
متن کاملCalculation of earthing and screening effects of compensation conductor laid alongside underground multi-cable power lines
Power substations in an urban area are interconnected by high voltage underground power cables, resulting also in interconnections of their earthing grids through cable metallic screens/sheaths. Most modern power cables with XLPE insulated core have metallic screens which are practically insulated from ground. These screens can only be (and usually are) grounded at cable ends and therefore do n...

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...

Design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. Optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. Also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....
متن کاملPerformance of Earthing Systems of Operational/Live Stations under Impulse Conditions
-A number of impulse investigations on earthing systems have been performed in the field [1-6]. The studies were conducted on a few types of earth electrode: vertical rods, horizontal electrodes and the mesh and other geometries of electrodes. The type selected may depend on the type of soil encountered and the available depth or area available. Impulse voltages of up to 3MV with impulse curren...
