Exploring the portability of ML-based lightning nowcasting models

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Amirhossein Mostajabi

Significant damages caused by lightning can be avoided by predicting lightning and taking precautionary measures. Here, a machine learning model is developed to nowcast lightning flashes using dew point temperature, precipitation, wind speed, wind directio ...

Efficient modeling of parallel counterpoise wires using an FDTD-based transmission line approach

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This paper presents an efficient modeling approach for parallel counterpoise wires used in the tower-footing grounding systems of high-voltage transmission lines. The proposed method is based on transmission line theory, with the governing equations solved ...

Cartesian and spherical multipole expansions in anisotropic media

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec, Jose Felix Vega Stavro, Thomas Chaumont

The multipole expansion, a ubiquitous tool in a variety of physical problems, can be formulated in spherical and Cartesian coordinates. By constructing an explicit map linking both formulations in isotropic media, we discover a lack of equivalence between ...

An experimental proof of concept of time‐reversal single‐sensor acoustic source localisation: Application to partial discharges

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami, Zhaoyang Wang

In this paper, for the first time, an experimental proof of concept for utilising time reversal (TR) in the acoustic regime to localise partial discharge (PD) sources was presented using a single sensor. To achieve this, an experimental setup comprising a ...

Time-reversed electromagnetic fields in anisotropic media

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec

Electromagnetic time reversal is commonly used for field imaging and focusing. This Letter builds upon the concept of the time -reversal cavity, which constitutes the main theoretical framework of time reversal theory. We study the behavior of the fields u ...

Mountaintop Gamma Ray Observations of Three Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes at the Säntis Tower, Switzerland With Coincident Radio Waveforms

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Amirhossein Mostajabi

We report on the mountain top observation of three terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) that occurred during the summer storm season of 2021. To our knowledge, these are the first TGFs observed in a mountaintop environment and the first published European ...

Spatiotemporal energy‐density distribution of time‐reversed electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Hamidreza Karami, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec, Nicolas Mora Parra

Time reversal exploits the invariance of electromagnetic wave propagation in reciprocal and lossless media to localize radiating sources. Time-reversed measurements are back-propagated in a simulated domain and converge to the unknown source location. The ...

An EMTP-Compatible Frequency-Dependent Model for Vertical Grounding Rods for Transient Studies

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Rafael Silva Alipio

This paper proposes an extended RLC circuit model for grounding rods that incorporates the frequency-dependent nature of both the grounding input impedance and the soil electrical parameters. The accuracy of the model, in terms of its predictions for Groun ...

On the correction of the transient ground resistance at early times in lightning surge propagation studies

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hannes Kohlmann

The impact of the ground losses on transient surges that propagate along transmission lines is taken into consideration in the telegrapher’s equations through the so-called transient ground resistance function ξ’g(t), for which numerous ex-pressions exist. ...
