In this paper the simulation of a wind turbine grounding grid and the study of its transient behavior when high impulse currents -such as lightning strokes-appear, including the phenomenon of the soil ionization, are presented. An efficient mathematical model to simulate this situation is one based on the circuit approach. The transient behavior of the grounding grid has been simulated with the numerical code ATP -EMTP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
