The Study on Numerical Calculation of Unequal Potential Grounding Parameters of Large Hydropower Plant

Abstract:

To solve the problem of grounding parameters of large hydropower, which is in a special soil environment, we deduced unequal potential calculation formula ,based on the model of unequal potential in ground grid and combined with the boundary element method and node voltage method. Through example calculations, the paper analyzes the impact of the ground grid size, soil resistivity and conductor permeability on unequal potential and proves the accuracy of the results, compared with CDEGS software. This method can be used in grounding calculation and analysis of large hydropower stations.
