# groundmeas: Grounding System Measurements & Analysis

**groundmeas** is a comprehensive Python package designed for the management, analysis, and visualization of earthing (grounding) system measurements. It provides a robust toolset for engineers and researchers to handle field data, perform complex physical analysis, and generate interactive reports.

See the full documentation here: https://ce1ectric.github.io/groundmeas/

## 📚 Physical Background

Understanding the behavior of grounding systems is critical for electrical safety and system performance. `groundmeas` implements several standard and advanced methods for analyzing measurement data.

### Earthing Impedance ($Z_E$)
The earthing impedance is a frequency-dependent parameter defined as the ratio of the Earth Potential Rise (EPR) to the current flowing into the earth ($I_E$).
$$ Z_E(f) = \frac{V_{EPR}(f)}{I_E(f)} $$

### Soil Resistivity ($\rho$)
Soil resistivity is a key factor influencing the grounding resistance. It is typically measured using the Wenner or Schlumberger method and varies with depth and frequency.

### The Rho-f Model
To characterize the frequency dependence of a grounding system, `groundmeas` implements the **Rho-f Model**. This empirical model correlates the earthing impedance with soil resistivity ($\rho$) and frequency ($f$) using a linear regression approach with complex coefficients:

$$ Z(\rho, f) = k_1 \cdot \rho + (k_2 + j \cdot k_3) \cdot f + (k_4 + j \cdot k_5) \cdot \rho \cdot f $$

Where $k_1 \dots k_5$ are coefficients determined by fitting the model to measured data. This allows for the prediction of impedance behavior under varying soil conditions and frequencies.

### Determination of Earthing Impedance (Fall-of-Potential)
When measuring impedance using the Fall-of-Potential method, the challenge is to determine the "true" impedance from a distance vs. impedance profile. `groundmeas` offers multiple algorithms to extract this value:

1.  **Maximum**: Returns the highest measured value (conservative approach).
2.  **62% Rule**: Interpolates the value at 62% of the distance to the current injection point (valid for homogeneous soil).
3.  **Minimum Gradient**: Identifies the flat portion of the curve where the gradient ($\Delta Z / \Delta d$) is minimal.
4.  **Minimum Standard Deviation**: Uses a sliding window to find the region with the lowest variance (flattest part of the curve).
5.  **Inverse Extrapolation**: Fits a function $1/Z = a \cdot (1/d) + b$ to extrapolate the value at infinite distance ($d \to \infty$).

## 🖥️ Usage

### 1. The Command Line Interface (CLI)
The `gm-cli` tool is the main entry point for managing your data.

**Setup Database:**
By default, `groundmeas` looks for a database. You can specify one via the `--db` flag or set a default path in `~/.config/groundmeas/config.json`.

**Common Commands:**

*   **Dashboard**: Launch the interactive visualization tool.
    ```bash
    gm-cli dashboard
    ```

*   **Import Data**: Import measurements from a JSON file or a folder of JSON files.
    ```bash
    gm-cli import-json ./data/measurements/
    ```

*   **List Data**: View stored measurements.
    ```bash
    gm-cli list-measurements
    ```

*   **Analytics**: Calculate the characteristic impedance using the minimum gradient method.
    ```bash
    gm-cli distance-profile 1 --algorithm minimum_gradient
    ```

*   **Help**: See all available commands.
    ```bash
    gm-cli --help
    ```

### 2. The Interactive Dashboard
The dashboard provides a user-friendly interface to explore your data.

1.  Run `gm-cli dashboard`.
2.  **Map View**: Select measurement points on the map. Use "Multi-select mode" to compare multiple datasets.
3.  **Analysis Tabs**:
    *   **Impedance vs Frequency**: Compare frequency responses ($Z_E$).
    *   **Rho-f Model**: Fit and visualize the model parameters.
    *   **Voltage / EPR**: Analyze Earth Potential Rise and Touch Voltages ($V_t$, $V_{tp}$).
    *   **Value vs Distance**: Visualize Fall-of-Potential curves with filtering by frequency.

### 3. Python API
You can use `groundmeas` directly in your Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks.

```python
from groundmeas import connect_db, read_measurements_by, impedance_over_frequency

# Connect to DB
connect_db("groundmeas.db")

# Fetch data
measurements, _ = read_measurements_by(location_id=1)

# Analyze
for meas in measurements:
    z_f = impedance_over_frequency(meas["id"])
    print(f"Measurement {meas['id']}: {z_f}")
```
