Key Points

To evaluate and optimize the safety and techno-economic performance of high-voltage substation grounding systems by integrating field soil surveys with computational and analytical modeling.
Gathered soil specific resistance data at a Turkish Electricity Transmission Company (TEIAS) high-voltage substation using Wenner and Schlumberger electrode configurations.
Performed grounding grid safety calculations based on IEEE Std 80-2013 analytical equations and CDEGS electromagnetic field simulation software.
Conducted on-site measurements of ground impedance, step voltage, and touch voltage at the installed substation using the Fall of Potential Method (FPM).
Identified direct correlations between measured field parameters and CDEGS software simulations for ground impedance, step voltage, and touch voltage.
Demonstrated that incorporating site-specific Wenner and Schlumberger soil resistivity profiles into analytical models improves adherence to IEEE Std 80-2013 safety thresholds.
