This paper proposes a tower-foot grounding system model compatible with EMT programs which might be useful for the simulation of lightning transients in overhead lines. The proposed model is based on the solution of the telegrapher's equations and the appl ...
This article summarizes the electromagnetic time-reversal (EMTR) technique for fault location, and further numerically validates its effectiveness when the fault impedance is negligible. In addition, a specific EMTR model considering the fault impedance is ...
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 ...
The paper addresses the important issue of evaluating the overvoltages produced on a power system by a lightning event. First, the theoretical formulation of the problem in the time domain is presented. Then its numerical solution together with its impleme ...

The mechanical interaction between adherent cells and their substrate relies on the formation of adhesion sites and on the stabilization of contractile acto-myosin bundles, or stress fibers. The shape of the cell and the orientation of these fibers can be ...
The ITER feeders are the components that connect the ITER magnet systems located inside the main cryostat to the cryogenics, power-supply and control system interfaces outside the cryostat. The feeder busbars rely on the Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC) d ...
The aim of this document is to provide an extended description and application guide of methods belonging to the so-called Numerical Electromagnetic Analysis (NEA) applied to the calculation of electromagnetic transients in power systems. As known, the acc ...
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 ...
The paper proposes a modeling technique to analyze the response of a transmission line terminated by a lightning arrester connected to a grounding system buried in a lossy ground. In this technique, the transmission line is modeled in the frequency domain ...
