This paper presents electric characteristics analysis and safe configuration for extension power supply between existent 6.6kV ungrounded distribution system and establishment and improvement 22.9kV direct grounding distribution system. For this, we model 6.6kV ungrounded and 22.9kV direct grounding distribution system of urban underground, ground region. and rural electrical, unelectrical region using PSCAD/EMTDC and analyze voltage drop, charging current, ground and short fault through simulation. To analyze electric characteristics of extension power supply, we simulate extension power supply of overhead line of 6.6kV ungrounded system and underground line of 22.9kV direct grounding system of rural electrical region and propose operation condition for safe extension power supply through result of analysis. Characteristics of voltage drop, charging current, ground and short fault appear almost similarly with electrical characteristic of direct power supply. However, because unbalance of phases may cause relay's malfunction of ungrounded system and ground fault current of direct grounding system may demage facilities of ungrounded system, we propose safe system configuration such as impedance grounding system of neutral point.

This paper resents a theoretical analysis for the grounding impedance influenced by the ground rod's dimension using the distributed parameter model. In this paper, EMTP and Matlab Program were used to simulate the distributed parameter model and to analyze the frequency-dependent characteristics of the ground rods. We compared two kinds of ground rods having different dimensions and the frequency-dependent characteristics of two ground rods were quite different from each other. It is estimated that these different characteristics are caused by the distributed parmeters which are changed by the length of ground rod.

The line impedance is important data that is applied in all analysis fields of electric power system like power flow, fault current, stability and relay calculation etc. Usually, impedance can be accurately calculated in case of overhead line. However, in case of power cables or combined transmission lines, impedance can not be accurately calculated because cable systems have the sheath, grounding wires, and earth resistance. Therefore, if there is a fault in cable system, these terms will severely be caused much error to calculation of impedance. Therefore, the line impedance were measured for this study in an actual power system of underground cables, and were analyzed by a generalized circuit analysis program EMTP for comparison with the measured value. These analysis result is considered to become foundation of impedance calculation for underground cable.

This paper presents the behaviors of transient and effective impulse impedances of a long ground rod associated with the current injection points. The laboratory test for the time domain performance of actual-sized model ground rod subjected to a lightning stroke current has been carried out The transient ground impedances of long ground rods under impulse currents were higher than the ground resistance. Both of the ground resistance and the effective impulse ground impedance decrease with increasing the length of the ground rods. Also, the effective impulse ground impedances are significantly increased in fast rise time ranges. The reduction of the ground resistance is decisive to improve the impulse impedance characteristics of grounding systems. When the test current is injected at the bottom of ground rod, the oscillating pulses with high frequency are included on the wave front of ground rod potential and the effective impulse impedances are higher than any other cases.

The route of surge arrester connection is very important because bends and kinds of leads increase the impedance to lightning surges and tend to nullify the effectiveness of a grounding electrode conductor. There is a need to know how effective installation of lightning surge arresters is made in order to control voltage and to absorb energy at high lightning currents. The effectiveness of a grounding conductor and bonding for 18[kV] metal oxide distribution line arresters was experimentally investigated with lightning and oscillating impulse voltages.

This paper describes the characteristics of effective impulse ground impedance of deeply driven ground rods combined with grounding grid or counterpoises with needles. The potential rises of the test ground electrodes were measured as a function of the rise time of applied impulse currents and the effective impulse ground impedances were calculated The impulse ground impedances of deeply driven ground rods strongly depend on the rise time of impulse currents and significantly reduced by the connection of grounding grids in parallel.

A systematic approach of measurement, modeling and analysis of grounding system impedance is presented. The measurement and analysis system of ground impedance is based on a computer aided technique. The ground impedances of the ground rod are considerably dependent on the frequency. The ground impedance is mainly resistive in the frequency range of 3-20 kHz. At higher frequencies, the reactive components of the ground impedances are no longer negligible and the inductance of the ground rod was found to be the core factor deciding the ground impedance. As a consequence, the equivalent circuit model based on the measured data was proposed, and the calculated results were in approximately agreement with the measured data.

This paper describes the characteristics for ground impedance of counterpoise according to position of auxiliary probe and frequency using the fall-of-potential method and the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-potential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the effects of ground impedance due to the distance of the current probe and frequency, ground impedances were measured in case that the distance of current probe was located from 10[m] to 100[m] and the measuring frequency was ranged in 55 [Hz], 128[Hz], 342[Hz], and 513[Hz]. The results could be help to determine the position of auxiliary probe when the ground impedance was measured at grounding system.
