Abstract
This article focuses on the aggression of lightning overload on the equipment of the electrical network of sites where storm activity is very dense; and the electrocution of people located in the direct environment of the high-voltage substation during the flow of lightning current to the ground through the ground socket. The modeling of the flow circuit of the shock wave consisting of guard wire, lightning arrester and ground socket couple to the transformer of the high voltage substations, thanks to the approach of a servo block, led to the synthesis of a PID regulator (corrector) whose action is to reject the effects of the overvoltage on the network equipment and to significantly reduce or even cancel the effects of the step or touch voltage due to the distribution of the potential around the ground socket; and thus improve the quality of service of the high-voltage transmission and distribution electricity network, especially in stormy times.
