An Extension of the Guided Wave M‐Component Model Taking Into Account the Presence of a Tall Strike Object

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Quanxin Li

We present in this paper an extension of the guided-wave M-component model of Rakov et al. considering the presence of a vertically elevated strike object. The tall object is represented as a lossless, uniform transmission line. Expressions for the current ...

Impedance and Admittance Formulas for a Multistair Model of Transmission Towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This article discusses formulas for the surge/ characteristic impedance of vertical conductors. Calculated results of the surge impedance are compared with measured results on vertical conductors and transmission towers. The accuracy of the available time- ...

On the Mechanism of Current Pulse Propagation Along Conical Structures: Application to Tall Towers Struck by Lightning

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We discuss in this paper the propagation of lightning current pulses along conical tall structures. Although the dominant mode of an infinitely long conical transmission line is transverse electric and magnetic (TEM), such a structure can also support high ...

Lightning Return Strokes to Tall Towers: Ability of Engineering and Electromagnetic Models to Reproduce Nearby Electromagnetic Fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Abdolhamid Shoory, Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

We present measurements of nearby vertical and horizontal electric fields from leaders and return strokes associated with lightning strikes to the 100-m-tall Gaisberg Tower in Austria obtained in 2007 and 2008. The fields were measured at a distance of abo ...

On the Current Peak Estimates Provided by Lightning Detection Networks for Lightning Return Strokes to Tall Towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello

The peak current estimation of lightning detection networks for strikes to tall towers is discussed in this paper. Such systems are sometimes calibrated using return-stroke current data obtained by means of rocket-triggered lightning or instrumented towers ...

Return stroke current profiles and electromagnetic fields associated with lightning strikes to tall towers: Comparison of engineering models

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Davide Pavanello, José-Luis Bermudez

In this paper, we compare five engineering return stroke models, extended to include the presence of an elevated strike object, namely the Bruce-Golde (BG) model, the transmission line (TL) model, the traveling current source (TCS) model, and the two modif ...

Far-field-current relationship based on the TL model for lightning return strokes to elevated strike objects

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mario Paolone, Davide Pavanello, José-Luis Bermudez

New general expressions relating lightning return stroke currents and far radiated electric and magnetic fields are proposed, taking into account the effect of an elevated strike object, whose presence is included as an extension to the transmission line ( ...

Lightning strikes to elevated structures: influence grounding conditions on currents and electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Emanuel Petrache

This paper presents an analysis of lightning return strokes to tall structures. The interaction of lightning with a tall structure is modeled using the antenna theory. The finite ground conductivity as well as the buried grounding system of the tall struct ...
