DC Power Distribution Networks with Direct Current Transformers
The shift towards DC power distribution networks, enabled by power electronics technologies, is changing the nature of electrical power systems. Nowadays, DC power distribution networks can effectively support the high penetration of distributed energy res ...
EPFL2024A Lightweight Device for Energy Harvesting from Power Lines with a Fixed-Wing UAV
Dario Floreano, William John Stewart
Modern UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) suffer from restrictions in flight range and time due to battery capacity limitations. One way to overcome these limitations is to harvest energy from overhead power lines. A growing body of scientific literature has ...
IEEE2022An Efficient Methodology for the Evaluation of the Lightning Performance of Overhead Lines
This article proposes a method for the derivation of a formula that links the maximum lightning-induced-overvoltage occurring on an overhead distribution line with the variables that characterize the lightning return stroke, such as the peak current, front ...
2021Lightning-Induced Voltages on Overhead Distribution Lines Computed through Analytical Expressions for the Electromagnetic Fields
Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri
The evaluation of lightning ElectroMagnetic (EM) fields represents the most cumbersome part of the lightning-induced voltages computation process. Their evaluation is usually performed through a numerical routine or with simplified analytical expressions, ...
