High-frequency response of a hemispherical grounding electrode
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga
The lightning discharge current is characterized by a high-frequency spectrum extending from DC to about 10 MHz. The calculation of the grounding impedance is one of the most important aspects of designing lightning protection systems. The search for analy ...
2024Tower-foot grounding model for EMT programs based on transmission line theory and Marti's model
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 ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023An 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 ...
2021Three-Dimensional FDTD-Based Simulation of Induced Surges in Secondary Circuits Owing to Primary-Circuit Surges in Substations
Marcos Rubinstein, Akiyoshi Tatematsu
Currently, plenty of sensitive electronic devices are installed in secondary circuits in substations and power plants. Electronic devices may malfunction and become damaged owing to electromagnetic disturbances caused mainly by lightning surges. To protect ...

The Institution of Engineering and Technology IET2020Grounding Resistance of a Hemispheric Electrode Located on the Top of a Finite-Height, Cone-Shaped Mountain
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami
In this letter, we present an analytical solution for the resistance of a hemispheric grounding electrode located on the top of a mountain. The mountain is modeled as a truncated cone with a finite height. Recently, a closed-form solution for the grounding ...
2020On the representation of thin wires inside lossy dielectric materials for FDTD‐based LEMP simulations
Marcos Rubinstein, Akiyoshi Tatematsu
The finite-difference time-domain method is one of the most widely used numerical electromagnetic computation techniques, and it has become an effective tool for analyzing electromagnetic transient phenomena in three-dimensional structures and grounding sy ...
2019Isolated vs. Interconnected Wind Turbine Grounding Systems: Effect on the Harmonic Grounding Impedance, Ground Potential Rise and Step Voltage
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Qi Li
Wind turbines are very vulnerable to lightning strikes due to their height, sharp edges and remote locations often with high soil resistivity. In this paper we present numerical simulations of the impedance of a typical wind turbine grounding geometry. We ...
