A Genetic Algorithm Approach for Modeling a Grounding Electrode

抄録

This paper has proposed a genetic algorithm based approach to determine a grounding electrode model circuit composed of resistances, inductances and capacitances. The proposed methodology determines the model circuit parameters based on a general ladder circuit directly from a measured result. Transient voltages of some electrodes were measured when applying a step like current. An EMTP simulation of a transient voltage on the grounding electrode has been carried out by adopting the proposed model circuits. The accuracy of the proposed method has been confirmed to be high in comparison with the measured transient voltage.
