CN Tower Lightning Return-Stroke Current Simulation
Different functions have been used to model the lightning return-stroke current with the aid of direct current measurements at tall structures. In this paper, a comparison between the Pulse function and Heilder function is carried out to find out the suitability of each of these functions for simulating the lightning return-stroke current, measured at the CN Tower. An automated system for deter...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Impulse Characteristics of Transmission Line Tower Footings
Understanding the impulse response of tower grounding systems is a key factor in the determination of the lightning performance of transmission lines and the safety voltages near high voltage towers. This paper reports the results of an experimental study on the impulse characteristics of full-scale transmission line tower footings. The ground potential distribution both at the ground surface a...
متن کاملImprovements of an FDTD-Based Surge Simulation Code and Its Application to the Lightning Overvoltage Calculation of a Transmission Tower
This paper presents new features recently added to a general-purpose surge simulation code based on the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) method. The added features include various-shape conductor models, lumped-parameter circuit-element models, a lightning-channel model, and an integrated analysis environment (IAE). For precisely modeling the shapes of various conductors, the following cond...
متن کاملSimulation of tunneling magneto-resistance in Fe/MgO/Fe junction
The conductivity asymmetry of junctions with insulating MgO barriers embedded between ferromagnetic Fe electrodes has been investigated by the first principles calculation program of Atomistix ToolKit 2008. The conductivity in up-spin electron is larger than that in down-spin electron for the ideal structure. It leads to the large TMR ratio. The defect of O or Fe atoms hardly varies the conduct...
متن کاملModelling and simulation of a solar tower power plant
In this project a simulation and model for a solar tower power plant are made. The model describes the calculation of the solar position, cosine effects, atmospheric attenuation between heliostat and receiver, heliostat reflectivity and shading and blocking. The model has been done taking into account also a discretization of the surface of the heliostats. This discretization was used to find o...
