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 ...

Models of wind-turbine main-shaft bearings for the development of specific lightning protection systems

Mario Paolone

One of the main causes of damages for wind-turbine power plants is lightning. Direct and indirect events, indeed, can produce damages and malfunctions of electrical and mechanical components. Concerning mechanical components, blades and bearings are the mo ...
