| Abstract |
Electric power facilities must have effective grounding to provide means to carry electric current into the earth under fault conditions and to prevent damage of equipment, ignition, and electrocution of personnel. This paper present an algorithm called the Pattern Search method for the optimal parameters selection of the grounding system. Simulation results using these parameters obtained from the PS method verify that the grounding systems are adequately designed. |
