The Influence of the Slope Angle of the Ocean–Land Mixed Propagation Path on the Lightning Electromagnetic Fields

In this paper, lightning electromagnetic fields in the presence of an ocean-land mixed propagation path having different configurations are evaluated using a finite-element-based full-wave approach. The simulations are conducted considering lightning strik ...

On the Location of Lightning Discharges Using Time Reversal of Electromagnetic Fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Gaspard Lugrin

In this paper, we discuss the use of the electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) method to locate lightning strikes. After a brief description of the EMTR and its application to lightning location, we mathematically demonstrate that the time-of-arrival method ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields and Their Induced Currents on Buried Cables. Part I: The Effect of an Ocean-Land Mixed Propagation Path

Keyhan Sheshyekani

We use a full-wave finite-element-based solution of Maxwell's equations for the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic fields inside a vertically stratified, two-layer ground (ocean-land mixed propagation path) and their induced currents on the shield of ...

On the proportion of upward flashes to lightning research towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz

We compare in this paper direct measurements obtained on the towers on San Salvatore Mountain (Switzerland) and on the Gaisberg Mountain (Austria). They are situated in similar topographical environments but in different lightning activity zones. Direct me ...

Effects of nearby buildings on lightning induced voltages on overhead power distribution lines

Mario Paolone, Carlo Alberto Nucci

For the case of urban overhead lines, the presence of nearby buildings is expected to affect the overvoltages induced by nearby cloud-to-ground lightning return strokes. So far, this effect has been seldom taken into account in the literature on the subjec ...

Instrumentation of the Säntis Tower for Lightning Current Measurement

In this thesis, a new experimental station was designed and built for the measurement of lightning currents. The station (Säntis Tower) was instrumented using advanced and modern equipment with remote monitoring for an accurate measurement of lightning cur ...

Prony Series Representation for the Lightning Channel Base Current

In this paper, a new representation for the lightning channel base current is proposed in terms of the so-called Prony series, obtained by means of a modified time-domain variant of the well-known vector fitting technique. This method allows both to reprod ...

On the Mechanism of Current Pulse Propagation Along Conical Structures: Application to Tall Towers Struck by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We discuss in this paper the propagation of lightning current pulses along conical tall structures. Although the dominant mode of an infinitely long conical transmission line is transverse electric and magnetic (TEM), such a structure can also support high ...

Voltage transient measurements in a distribution network correlated with data from lightning location system and from sequence of events recorders

Mario Paolone

Measurement units of high-frequency voltage transients have been specifically developed and installed at three different busses of an Italian medium voltage (MV) feeder, mainly composed by overhead lines and located in a rural region characterized by a hig ...
