Abstract

The two coupling models most frequently used in the power-lightning literature for the calculation of lightning-induced overvoltages, namely the model by Chowdhuri and Gross (1967) and the model by Agrawal, Price and Gurbaxani (1980), are compared and discussed. It is shown that the Chowdhuri-Gross model is incomplete: the source term due to the contribution of the magnetic induction is missing. The authors investigate how much the lack of the source term affects the accuracy of the calculated overvoltages. Experimental tests of the two models using a short line illuminated by a NEMP simulator support the theoretical conclusion

Statistical model

A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data (and similar data from a larger population). A statistical model represents, often in considerably idealized form, the data-generating process. When referring specifically to probabilities, the corresponding term is probabilistic model. A statistical model is usually specified as a mathematical relationship between one or more random variables and other non-random variables.

Earthing system

An earthing system (UK and IEC) or grounding system (US) connects specific parts of an electric power system with the ground, typically the Earth's conductive surface, for safety and functional purposes. The choice of earthing system can affect the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the installation. Regulations for earthing systems vary among countries, though most follow the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Voltage spike

In electrical engineering, spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spikes), or transferred energy (energy spikes) in an electrical circuit. Fast, short duration electrical transients (overvoltages) in the electric potential of a circuit are typically caused by Lightning strikes Power outages Tripped circuit breakers Short circuits Power transitions in other large equipment on the same power line Malfunctions caused by the power company Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) with electromagnetic energy distributed typically up to the 100 kHz and 1 MHz frequency range.
