Following the recent developments in the field of power electronic valves, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems have become more attractive in power systems, and are widely recognised as a suitable tool for future power systems, especially in bulk power transmission over long distances. Grounding electrodes are an important part with significant roles in the operation of the HVDC systems. In...
The ability of a horizontal earth electrode in reducing earth potential rise is limited because, beyond a certain length known as the effective length, no further reduction is obtained. In this paper, field experiments and computer simulations of a horizontal earth electrode is presented. The electrode was energised using different sources (dc, variable frequency ac and transients of different shapes),...
In this paper, experimental set and initial test results are described of low voltage DC, AC and impulse tests on a rod electrode immersed in a water reservoir of a large hydro power station. A detailed water resistivity survey indicates largely uniform temperature and resistivity throughout the reservoir. Calculations and simulations of the rod electrode under DC and power frequency AC show reasonable...
