Abstract

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and lightning protection studies in large installations require knowledge of spatial and temporal distribution of electromagnetic fields in case of lightning and power system faults. A new hybrid method for modeling electromagnetic environment of grounding systems is developed in this work. The electromagnetic fields in the surrounding soil are determined from the previously calculated current distribution using dipoles theory with analytical formulas. The model can be used to predict the EM environment of grounding systems because it can calculate electromagnetic fields in any points of interest.
