Abstract

Conductivity Conductors Electric potential Ground penetrating radar Grounding Grounding grid systems image method Leakage currents Soil Optimization
This paper deals with the optimization of grounding grids geometry. The goal is to reduce the amount of material to deploy a grounding grid, while keeping the system security. The touch voltages, step voltages, GPR and ground resistance are parameters of grounding grids and are related to safety aspect. Also discussed is a genetic algorithm used for optimizing ground grids, which can assume any form in a limited space of the project. The simulation is based in images method. The results are presented and discussed.
