Lightning Protection Systems Design for Substations by Using Masts and Matlab
نویسندگان
چکیده
The economical criterion is accounted as the objective function to develop a computer program for designing lightning protection systems for substations by using masts and Matlab in this work. Masts are needed to be placed at desired locations; the program will then show mast heights whose sum is the smallest, i.e. satisfies the economical criterion. The program is helpful for engineers to quickly design a lightning protection system for a substation. To realize this work, methodology and limited conditions of the program, as well as an example of the program result, were described in this paper. Keywords—lightning, protection, substation, computer.

Lightning Protection of Ehv Substations in Iran
Extra high voltage (EHV) substations are extremely vulnerable to the hazard of lightning strokes therefore, the shielding of these substations with a highly reliable protective scheme (shield wires) is an essential undertaking. In this paper an attempt is made to clarify the design procedure for shielding EHV substations against lightning with special reference to Iran.
متن کاملNew Method of Protection against Lightning Overvoltages for High Voltage GIS Substations
In the present paper simulations of the lightning overvoltages propagation phenomenon in a typical 420 kV SF6 GIS substations are presented. A new overvoltage mitigating passive device in a form of a high-voltage L-C filter is proposed. A process of its development and research is explained along with a simulation results. As demonstrated, the proposed device can be used in HV networks as an al...
متن کاملMitigation of Transient Overvoltages Generated Due to Switching Operations and Lightning in Gas-insulated Substation (GIS) Without Extra Limiter
Gas-insulated substations (GIS) have different specifications in proportion to air-insulated substations. Transformer failures related to lightning and switching are often reported in the gas insulated substation (GIS). This problem is the voltage magnifications due to reflections of switching and lightning surges at various junctions within the GIS. thereby overvoltages in GIS are more importa...
متن کاملSubstation Protection and the Climatic Environment of Niger Delta
Substation protection is one of the most important schemes in power system. Rainfall, Humidity, Temperature and contaminations do not produce over voltage but are capable of lowering the flashover voltage and affect the operation of the equipment. The aim of the study was to identify the climatic factors especially the average lightning days and / or ground flash density so that substation desi...
متن کاملFailure of the Collection Volume Method and Attempts of the ESE Lightning Rod Industry to Resurrect it
To facilitate the marketing of their devices, the vendors of Early Streamer Emission (ESE) lightning rods are attempting to get the Collection Volume Method (CVM) in IEEE Standard 998 which deals with the Shielding of Substations. This attempt follows their failures before IEC, Standards Australia and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). Voting on the standards of the IEEE is done b...
