In this paper, three machine learning (ML)-based approaches—XGBoost, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Random Forest algorithms—are compared for the localization of lightning through the analysis of lightninginduced voltages on power transmission lines. ...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the effect of the frequency dependence of soil electrical parameters on the lightning radiated electromagnetic fields as well as their associated induced voltages on overhead lines. To this aim, a fullwave appro ...

As sampling is taking place, the most active regions of the spectrum can be identified (i.e. the vicinity of spectral peaks). By selectively increasing the spectral density within those regions improves the quality of the total spectral representation redu ...

This study examines the relationship between upward negative stepped leader pulses in upward positive lightning and preliminary breakdown pulses (PBPs) in downward negative lightning discharges. Through analysis of simultaneous channel-base current and electric field data from the Säntis tower in Switzerland, we found notable similarities between Category A and B upward positive lightning pulses and the “Classical” and “Narrow” PBPs observed in downward negative flashes. Statistical comparisons reveal corre

Factors that contribute to lightning-caused faults on the line insulation of overhead distribution lines and suggested improvements to existing and new constructions are identified in this guide. ...

This paper summarizes the main findings of a long-term research to explore the use of high power electromagnetics in humanitarian demining. A neutralization method based on remote detonation of electrically-activated improvised explosive devices (IED) was ...

This paper introduces the results obtained so far using electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) to locate partial discharges (PDs) in power systems, aiming to improve their reliability. PD events, occurring inside insulator defects, can lead to faults or supply interruptions. Accurate PD localisation methods are crucial tools for protecting power systems and improving their resilience. In EMTR-based PD localisation [1], the measured PD signals are time-reversed and re-emitted back into the system model. During

The authors present an analysis in the frequency domain of lightning electromagnetic fields making use of a computer code developed by the authors. The analysis is made for different distances from the lightning channel, for two different current waveshapes corresponding to the first and the subsequent negative return stroke, and evidencing the contribution of the various terms (static, induction and radiation) to the total field. The calculated frequency spectra match satisfactorily with the average spectr

Lightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth’s surface are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection methods in addition to the traditional Franklin rod. Here we present the fir ...

This paper presents experimental results on the transient response of a buried insulated wire subjected to fast transient signals. It reports measurements of voltage and current at the sending end, as well as the voltage at the receiving end of the insulat ...

Controlling lightning is a long-time dream of mankind. Along with the rapid evolution of laser technologies, the idea to develop lightning protection based on filamentation of high-power ultrashort-pulse lasers emerged in the 1990s [1]. The goal of the Las ...

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 conversion between the common and the differential modes is of great importance in the transmission of data over poorly balanced cables such as electrical wiring. In this paper, we have studied some of the mechanisms involved in this conversion, both e ...

In this paper, the electromagnetic susceptibility of electro-explosive devices (EEDs) including their connection wires is assessed statistically. The electromagnetic coupling and the thermal power dissipation are modeled to determine the activation conditi ...

Dealing with lightning performance computation, researchers usually consider only negative downward first return strokes and the relevant channel-base peak current distribution. The aim of this article is to account for the lightning flash mechanism, which ...

The amount of charge transferred to ground during long continuing currents in natural downward flashes can be obtained either through direct current measurements or using remote electromagnetic fields, if direct measurements are not feasible. In this study ...
