Grounding Grid Analysis: Historical Background and Classification of Methods This paper presents a review of the most important methods available for the grounding grid analysis. This includes numerical methods intended for the grounding grid direct current, time-harmonic current and transient current energization. Emphasis is given to the numerical methods involving transient grounding grid analysis. Available numerical methods are reviewed according to the implemented soil model, e.g. homogenous soil, horizontally and vertically stratified multilayer soil as well as exceptionally heterogeneous soil. In that regard, various possible treatments of the boundary between soil layers are discussed. Here, image methods feature prominently in a solution to this problem. Whence, several possible image methods are reviewed. Additionally, numerical methods are reviewed according to the theoretical background approach. Here, one can make a clear distinction between circuit approach, which might include a transmission line approach, and electromagnetic theory approach. Numerical methods for the transient analysis of grounding grids are also reviewed in regard to the domain of the solution. Therefore, they could be regarded as time domain and frequency domain methods. Fast Fourier transform algorithm is seen as a conventional way of crossing between frequency and time domains. Major advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are pointed out as well.

Determination of the power cables system reduction coefficient matrix The work presents original theoretical bases of the mathematical model for the determination of the power cables system reduction coefficient matrix. The matter at hand is a new and completely general mathematical model which can take into consideration an arbitrary number and arrangement of a single-core cable system arranged in a treefoil formation. As a matter of fact, the concerned reduction coefficient matrix takes into consideration the real (full) electromagnetic impact which dominates the pertaining power cables, in the conditions of occurrence of one-pole short circuit. The reduction coefficient matrix is characterized by having elements dependant exclusively on electromagnetic and geometrical properties of the very power cables, their positioning and on the geophysical properties of their route, as well as on the frequency of the currents flowing through the power cables. The application of the model deliberated here enables a far more accurate estimation of the current distribution in the power cables system than would be possible by applying separate reduction factors of the present power cables. At the same time, the deliberated model is simple for application and entirely general. The application of the presented theory and the developed mathematical model is also shown on the example of the general system of power cables with nominal voltage 110 kV.

Potential distribution for a harmonic current point source in horizontally stratified multilayer medium This paper describes a numerical procedure for approximating the potential distribution for a harmonic current point source, which is either buried in horizontally stratified multilayer earth, or positioned in the air. The procedure is very efficient and general. The total number of layers and the source position in relation to the medium model layers are completely arbitrary. The efficiency of the computation procedure is based on the successful application of the numerical approximation of two kernel functions of the integral expression for the potential distribution within an arbitrarily chosen layer of the medium model. Each kernel function of the observed layer is approximated using a linear combination of 15 real exponential functions. Using these approximations and the analytical integration based on the Weber integral, a simple expression for numerical approximation of potential distribution within boundaries of the observed medium layer is given. Potential retardation is taken into account approximately. Numerical model developed for the harmonic current point source is the basis of a wider numerical model for computation of the harmonic and transient fields of earthing system, which consists of earthing grids buried in horizontally stratified multilayer earth and metallic structures in the air.

Dangerous voltages due to the direct lightning strike into the communication tower This paper presents a novel technique for computing dangerous voltages due to direct lightning strike into the communication tower and associated earthing system, which is based on the use of the well-known ATP-EMTP software package. The earthing grid and the communication tower structure are approximated by the circular cross section conductors. In numerical model, conductors are subdivided into segments (1D finite elements) and Clark's model with distributed constant parameters is then applied. Because of the limitations of ATP-EMTP software package , the leakage resistance of buried segments is modelled as additional lumped parameter. Analytical expressions for distributed and lumped segment parameters are derived using the average potential method. Mutual electromagnetic coupling between segments is neglected due to the limitations imposed by the ATP-EMTP software package, which is based on transmission line approach. Separate computer program is developed for obtaining the earth surface transient potential distribution, from which step and touch voltages are then computed.

EMTP Modelling of Direct Lightning Strikes to the GSM Base Station TowerThis paper presents a numerical model for the GSM base station electromagnetic transient analysis. The model is based on the use of the well-known ATP-EMTP computer program. A complete GSM base station tower model combined with a detailed model of the base station earthing grid is proposed. A distributed parameters line model is employed, with Heidler's type surge current source representing direct lightning strike to the GSM base station tower. A new analytical expressions for distributed parameters of the Clark's model are derived using the average potential method.

Voltage Analysis of Phase Disconection of Double Circuit Overhead Line by DVDV Software Operating security of workmen on the transmission line towers directly depends on inducted voltages. That is especially important for double circuit lines. Inducted voltages are consequence of electromagnetic induction and electrostatics. This paper presents new software package DVDV ver.1.0 developed in EIHP as part of results obtained for the line 2 x 220 kV Konjsko – Bilice. (in Croatian).

Dry-band arcing voltage of self-supporting fiber optic cable installed on pylons of high voltage overhead lineUnbundling of vertically integrated company in power and telecommunication sectors is a worldwide process with positive and negative aspects. It is extremely hard to get new line corridors. All-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cables are often installed on pylons of high voltage overhead lines. The fiber optic cable is thus located in the high voltage environment. Dry-band voltage of the polluted sheath’s surface of the all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable is analyzed in this paper. (in Croatian).

Contribution to the parameter selection of distribution network instantenous overcurrent protection settings In this paper, the procedure of selecting instantenous overcurrent protection settings is presented, in respect of possible change in distribution network configuration. Appropriate theoretical basis for that selection is given and then applied on 35 kV distribution network example. (in Croatian).

Dry-band voltage of self-supporting fiber optic cable installed on pylons of medium and high voltage overhead lines Unbundling of vertically integrated company in power and telecommunication sectors is a worldwide process with positive and negative aspects. It is extremely hard to get new line corridors. All-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cables are often installed on pylons of medium and high voltage overhead lines. The fiber optic cable is in the high voltage environment. Dry-band voltage of the polluted sheath’s surface of the all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable is analyzed in this paper. This voltage can cause dry-band arcing. The fiber optic cable can be damaged. (in Croatian).

Problems associated with small-scale power plant connected to distribution network from the point of view of relay protection Problems associated with the presence of small-scale power plant connected to the distribution network from the point of view of relay protection, are presented in this paper. Namely, the presence of such power plant in a distribution network effects both selection and settings of relevant relay protection equipment. Abovementioned problems are considered on a concrete example of 35 kV distribution network which is a part of "Elektrojug", with hydro power plant "Zavrelje" connected to it. (in Croatian).

Computing the mutual impedances between segments of earthing system conductors Electromagnetic model of the non-equipotential large earthing systems at power frequency includes transversal and longitudinal mutual impedances between segments of earthing conductors. This paper describes a new algorithm for computing the mutual impedances. Because the integrand contains a singularity and involves a double integration, the integral expressions for mutual impedances are subdivided into two terms. The first term can be computed as the solution of an analytic expression. The second term is not singular and can be evaluated by a new numerical integration routine, which is based on seven-point numerical integration with Gauss-Legendre quadrature.

Linear circuit analysis using finite element technique This paper describes a very simple but powerful numerical algorithm for the steady – state as well as transient linear electrical circuit analysis. The proposed numerical algorithm is based on a finite element technique (FET). On the basis of presented theory, a MATLAB program was developed and then applied for the transient linear circuit analysis on the concrete linear electrical circuit example with known exact analytical solution.
