Abstract
The electrical resistance of the grounding system has a highly nonlinear character concerning the geometrical parameters, especially in the case of nonhomogeneous soil. Hence, the optimization procedures for such grounding systems are very complex. In this paper, a co-simulation frame is used for the realization of the mentioned optimization. The frame includes two available computer simulation tools, one designed for numerical simulation of the electromagnetic field and the other one specialized for evolutionary optimization. It is applied on the vertical ground rod electrode and the grounding system consisted of two ring electrodes.
