Abstract

This article presents an application of the Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization based approach to minimize the cost of grounding grids in high voltage substations while maintaining the legitimacy of safety necessities. The cost effectiveness and the constraints are adapted to formulate optimized solutions for the grounding grid planning problem. The proposed approach attempts to calculate the optimal values of the grounding grid parameters while respecting a set of constraints within pre-set acceptable limits. Several test cases of grounding grid planning, some of them for real projects, are demonstrated to validate the proposed method. The superiority and efficacy of Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization have been acknowledged in terms of grounding grid cost minimization, stable performance and short CPU computational time.
