Lightning presents a significant danger to electrical and electronic equipment, buildings and monuments, people and animals. Although our knowledge about lightning has significantly improved over last century, the development of new composite materials and ...
This paper aims at validating a code for the evaluation of lightning-induced overvoltages developed in the PSCADEMTDC environment using experimental results obtained on an experimental facility deployed at the University of S˜ao Paulo, Brazil that emulates ...
In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...
Lightning is one of the main causes of damage to wind turbines. The continuous increase in the wind turbine heights makes these structures even more vulnerable against lightning. As a result, the design of proper lightning protection system is of high impo ...
The problem of upward leader inception from transmission lines has not been thoroughly discussed, largely because of the difficulty to obtain experimental data under natural circumstances. Previous studies have primarily examined reduced-scale experiments ...
The paper aims at defining a methodology to evaluate the lightning performance of a system of overhead distribution lines. As is well known, the evaluation of the lightning performance relies generally on a Monte Carlo approach that generates many differen ...

The paper deals with the calculation of transient currents and voltages along curved wire structures buried in a lossy ground using the generalized Telegrapher's equations. The influence of a lossy half space is taken into account by the simplified reflect ...
In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...
The paper presents a method to identify the location of direct lightning strikes to overhead transmission lines and potential subsequent flashover(s). The method is based on the electromagnetic time reversal theory and relies on the use of a single measure ...
