Abstract: Because of the small area and high level of ground fault current in today's whole-indoor urban intelligent substation, it is difficult to decrease the grounding resistance and the grounding potential rise, even with the low soil resistivity. Based on a soil model of a 110kV whole-indoor substation, the optimal grounding grid of a whole-indoor intelligent substation 110-A2-X1 is designed. In the process of optimal design, the threshold for grounding potential rise was relaxed appropriately by analyzing the requirements for grounding parameters in design code. The resistance reduction effects of two-layer grounding grid and deep-well grounding electrodes of different numbers and length were investigated with CDEGS software, and the safety and economy of the two resistance reduction measures were compared. The results show that the grounding deep-well has high cost but good resistance reduction effects compared with the two-layer grounding grid. And for unattended 110kV whole-indoor intelligent substation, it is suggested to use six grounding wells each with a depth of 55m for grounding grid o reduce the resistance.

Key words: whole-indoor intelligent substation, two-layer grounding grid, grounding parameters, grounding deep-well, optimal design
