Analysis of lightning-ionosphere interaction using simultaneous records of source current and 380 km distant electric field

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Wolfgang Schulz, Davide Pavanello, Dongshuai Li

We present simultaneous current and wideband electric field waveforms at 380 km associated with upward lightning flashes initiated from the Santis Tower, Switzerland. To the best of our knowledge, the dataset presented in this study includes the first simu ...

Lightning Potential Index performances in multimicrophysical cloud-resolving simulations of a back-building mesoscale convective system: The Genoa 2014 event

Martina Lagasio

Severe weather events are responsible for hundreds of fatalities and millions of euros of damage every year on the Mediterranean basin. Lightning activity is a characteristic phenomenon of severe weather and often accompanies torrential rainfall, which, un ...

On Wind Turbine Impedance Analysis via Different Approaches

Antonio Sunjerga

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 ...

Evaluation of Power System Lightning Performance, Part I: Model and Numerical Solution Using the PSCAD-EMTDC Platform

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 ...

Formulation of the Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Equations in Terms of Scalar and Vector Potentials

Marcos Rubinstein

More than 60 years ago, Prof. S. Rusck introduced a coupling model to take into account the interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power transmission and distribution lines. The model which assumes that the ground is perfec ...

Evaluation of Power System Lightning Performance—Part II: Application to an Overhead Distribution Network

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 ...

Location Accuracy Evaluation of ToA-Based Lightning Location Systems Over Mountainous Terrain

Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, we analyze the location error of time of arrival (ToA)-based lightning location systems (LLSs) caused by propagation effects over mountainous terrain around the Santis tower located in the Swiss Alps. The study is based on a full-wave three- ...

Correlation vs. Causality in Other-Triggered Tower Flashes

Marcos Rubinstein

Upward lightning flashes from towers are sometimes preceded by other lightning activity in the vicinity of the tower. This observation has led to a classification of upward tower lightning into self-initiated, which are not preceded by nearby lightning act ...

Advanced methods for the evaluation of lightning incidence over large areas, wind turbine parks and tall towers

Aleksandr Smorgonskii

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 ...
