Popis: While the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system is in monopolar operation, it produces thousands of amperes of ground-return currents (GRCs). Accurate computation of the GRCs is essential for assessing safety implications for nearby industrial infrastructure. Current three-dimensional forward models of GRCs are typically constructed based on discrete differential equations, and their solving efficiency is constrained by the increased degrees of freedom resulting from the fine discretization grids in high-conductivity conductors and ground points. To address this issue, we present a new resistor network (RN) forward solver based on a multi-resolution grid approach. This solver utilizes an RN to avoid the massive degrees of freedom resulting from fine discretization of high-voltage conductors and enhances grid discretization efficiency near the surface grounding system through multi-resolution grids. We demonstrate, through multiple three-dimensional geoelectrical model cases, that the proposed method reduces the forward modeling misfit to 1% and possesses only 3‰ of the required discrete elements compared to traditional approaches. Furthermore, practical HVDC grid model analyses indicate the successful application of the proposed method for GRC analysis in complex geoelectric conditions.
