Abstract
A Boundary Element, approach for the numerical computation
of substation grounding systems is presented.
In this general formulation, several widespread intuitive
methods (such as Average Potential Method) can be identified
as the result of specific choices for the test and
trial functions and suitable assumptions introduced in the
BEM formulation to reduce computational cost. While
linear and parabolic leakage current elements allow to increase
accuracy, computing time is drastically reduced by
means of new completely analytical integration techniques
and semi-iterative methods for solving linear equations
systems. This BEM formulation has been implemented
in a specific Computer Aided Design system or grounding
analysis developed in the last years. The feasibility of
this new approach is demonstrated with its application to
a real problem.
