The grounding grid is the cornerstone for maintaining the safe operation of the power system. The grounding network acts as a concealed project, and its invisible characteristics make the defects difficult to be detected, which causes major safety hazards in the system. Thus accurate diagnosis of grounding grid corrosion is vital in electrical engineering. A diagnosis method for grounding grid corrosion based on branch voltage disturbance is proposed in this paper, which can judge the location and degree of corrosion through branch voltage disturbance before and after corrosion. Firstly, the sensitivity of branch voltage to branch resistance of the grounding grid is analyzed. Secondly, a diagnostic model based on branch voltage disturbance is established, and the corresponding regularity between peak voltage disturbance and the corrosion state of the grounding grid branch is developed. Finally, it is verified by experiments that this method can effectively diagnose the corrosion of the grounding grid.
