Practical Methods for Analysis and Design of HV Installation Grounding Systems

Practical Methods for Analysis and Design of HV Installation Grounding Systems gives readers a basic understanding of the modeling characteristics of the major components of a complex grounding system. One by one, the author develops and analyzes each component as a standalone element, but then puts them together, considering their mutual disposition, or so-called proximity effect. This is the first book to enable the making and analysis of the most complex grounding systems that are typical for HV substations located in urban areas that uses relatively simple mathematical operations instead of modern computers. Since the presented methods enable problem-solving for more complex issues than the ones solved using National, IEC and/or IEEE standards, this book can be considered as an appendix to these standards. - Develops general equations of lumped parameter ladder circuits - Includes the analytical expression for determination of ground fault current distribution for a fault anywhere along a cable line - Presents measurement and analytical methods for the determination of actual ground fault current distribution for high-voltage substations located in urban areas - Provides the analytical procedure for the determination of the critical ground fault position for faults appearing in outgoing transmission lines - Defines testing procedure for the correct evaluation of grounding systems of substations located in urban areas

Relevant Characteristics of Power Lines Passing through Urban Areas

Relevant Characteristics of Power Lines Passing through Urban Areas covers a variety of problems in electric-power delivery that were considered for a long time in professional and scientific circles unsolvable. Taking into account the influence of all surrounding metal installations on the relevant characteristics of HV and EHV lines passing through urban and/or suburban areas, this reference provides safe and economical solutions on how to check and achieve prescribed safety conditions, determine the dangerous and harmful inductive influence of HV and EHV lines, enable compensation of deficiency for all unknowns, understand relevant data concerning surrounding metal installations, and more. This book is necessary for properly dimensioning cable systems, considering the existing underground structures near substations and providing engineers with the necessary information they need to design normal operations and determine fault events. - Includes methodologies that enable solutions for several types of problems in electric-power delivery that were previously unsolvable - Defines specific field measurements by guiding the development of corresponding analytical procedures - Showcases a clear scope for the application for HV and EHV distribution networks
