Calculation of Lightning-induced Voltages in MODELS Including Lossy Ground Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper outlines how lightning-induced voltages (LIV) in multi-conductor overhead lines can be calculated in MODELS in the ATP-EMTP. Lossy ground effects on the radial electrical field is taken into account by the CoorayRubinstein approximation, but the overhead line itself is assumed to be lossless. This is a reasonable assumption for line lengths up to 1-3 km, depending on the ground resistivity. The simple transmission line model is used for the lightning channel. This is an "engineering model" and a good compromise between accuracy and complexity, based on measurable parameters. The model is valid for the first few microseconds where the peak voltage mostly occurs.

Closed-Form Solutions for Broad-Band Equivalent Circuit of Vertical Rod Buried in Lossy Grounds Subjected to Lightning Strokes
Abstract— In this paper, input impedance of a vertical rod under lightning stroke is first computed by applying the method of moments (MoM) on the Maxwell’s equations. The circuit model is then achieved through applying modified vector fitting (MVF) on the computed input impedance. After then the equivalent circuit is again extracted for a few values of soil conductivity and rod radius. Finally...

متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Due to Lightning Strikes to Mountainous Ground
The produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. For the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. By this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2D-FDTD to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...
