The performance of grounding grids is critical in safeguarding electrical systems from damage during fault conditions and lightning strikes. Their effectiveness may be compromised under extreme conditions, leading to system failures or safety incidents. Despite advancements in grounding technologies, there remains a need to evaluate and enhance the performance of grounding grids to withstand these scenarios. Engineers, researchers, and industry stakeholders must collaborate to advance testing methodologies, improve design standards, and develop innovative solutions. Effective research and practical improvements in grounding grid systems will ensure reliable protection is provided to safeguard infrastructure and improve safety. Performance of Grounding Grids at Faulty and Lightning Strokes Conditions presents the characteristics of grounding electrodes when subjected to lightning, including the impacts of soil ionization with frequency, soil resistivity, and permittivity variations. The study presents the effects of different reflection factors on human safety through various methods and simulations. This book covers topics such as fault currents, soil ionization, and grounding systems, and is a useful resource for scientists, engineers, technologists, academicians, researchers, and business owners.

The electrical demands in several countries around the world are increasing due to the huge energy requirements of prosperous economies and the human activities of modern life. In order to economically transfer electrical powers from the generation side to the demand side, these powers need to be transferred at high-voltage levels through suitable transmission systems and power substations. To this end, high-voltage transmission systems and power substations are in demand. Actually, they are at the heart of interconnected power systems, in which any faults might lead to unsuitable consequences, abnormal operation situations, security issues, and even power cuts and blackouts. In order to cope with the ever-increasing operation and control complexity and security in interconnected high-voltage power systems, new architectures, concepts, algorithms, and procedures are essential. This book aims to encourage researchers to address the technical issues and research gaps in high-voltage transmission systems and power substations in modern energy systems.
