Abstract:In this paper the grid resistance of substations with different earth electrode and soil structures is investigated by simulation studies with the use of CDEGS (Current Distribution, Electromagnetic Fields, Grounding and Soil Structure Analysis) software code. The paper presents the effect of grid geometry, soil characteristics, the effectiveness of the vertical earth rods and the conductor diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
