Abstract
The grounding grid transient behavior is an important substation design criterion. This behavior is determined through interaction with impulsive currents typical of lightning. Based on the technical literature, the behavior in question is determined considering fixed current waves, with median parameters (peak values and front and tail times etc.). Therefore, important statistical–probabilistic characteristics of lightning currents, such as correlations and statistical regressions, are not included. From this perspective, this paper includes research into the sensitivity of impulsive impedance and effective area values of substation grounding grids in relation to the waveform of currents typical of the first return strokes. The results (original) illustrate significant sensitivity of the grids transient behavior in relation to those mentioned statistical–probabilistic characteristics, considering a wide range of resistivities in both current injection points considered in this study.
