Simulating transient responses to lightning strikes or switching surges. Core Computation Modules
The primary goal of any grounding grid is safety. CDEGS accurately computes touch and step voltages during fault conditions, ensuring they remain below safe limits (per IEEE Std 80 and IEC standards). It highlights "hot spots" on the grid surface that simpler 2D analyses might miss.
Comparison of IEEE Std. 80 Simplified Method with CDEGS for Substation Grounding Design Authors: M. E. El-Sharkawi, R. J. Heppe Venue: IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting Why good: Demonstrates where the analytical IEEE 80 method is conservative or inaccurate, and how CDEGS provides more precise touch/step voltages for irregular grids.
A good paper should include:
