Negative lightning flashes involve a number of different processes, including preliminary breakdown, stepped leaders, return strokes, continuing currents, and M-components. The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) onboard of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-series (GOES-R) is an optical lightning detector. The GLM provides three types of data: events, groups, and flashes. According to GLM designers, the group data are intended to track strokes. We recorded wideband lightning electric fields in the Amazon and compared them with the corresponding GLM group data (optical energy) to investigate what lightning processes can be detected by GLM from space. Based on a sample of 13 -CG flashes containing 37 return strokes, we found that GLM detected all the return strokes. It also detected what appeared to be IC branches, but did not detect one CID/NBE that occurred after a RS in a -CG flash. Further, the GLM detected 70% of first-stroke leaders (9 out of 13), as well as subsequent-stroke leaders in five multiple-stroke flashes. The GLM did not detect any preliminary breakdown processes. Two return strokes were followed by luminosity detections lasting for more than 10 ms, indicating some continuing current flowing in the lightning channel to the ground.

Lightning risk assessment is a crucial stage when designing a lightning protection system. The MS IEC 62305–2 which is the national adoption of IEC 62305–2 (2007) is a mandatory standard in Malaysia since 2011. While it is a comprehensive standard, many practicing electrical engineers find the entire risk evaluation exercise as tedious and cumbersome. This is especially true when assessing the risk of simple structures. Several commercial tools have been developed to ease the lightning risk assessment process. However, such tools may not be accessible to everyone of interest. In this paper, sensitivity analysis will be performed to identify the most significant parameters in the risk assessment based on MS IEC 62305–2. Based on the sensitivity index (SI) method, it was found that lightning flash density (Ng), environmental factor (CE) and special hazard (hz) are the most significant parameters contributing towards the overall risk value of a simple structure. Practicing engineers may prioritise the evaluation of these aforementioned parameters to simplify and expedite the lightning risk assessment exercise especially for simple structures.

Thunderstorms have become more and more frequent in recent years, and lightning protection of power grid is becoming more important. When lighting happens, the transfer and control of power flow is required as soon as possible. In the control system, bandwidth represents the response speed. This paper introduces the control principle of power flow in power grid dynamic lightning protection system. Taking the parallel side current control in the unified power flow control device (UPFC) as an example, the paper presents the specific method to improve the bandwidth of the control loop.

The holdover phase (i.e., the time between lightning-induced ignition and fire detection) is a phenomenon characteristic of lightning-caused wildfires. In this paper, we analyzed multiple holdover time datasets to determine the best statistical distribution for this phenomenon. We found that the gamma distribution seems a suitable candidate to model holdover times. We propose applications of the gamma distribution to improve the investigation of lightning-caused wildfires.

This paper presents a methodology that aims to reconcile the presence of lightning within the vicinity of a power line and the unexpected circuit breaker operation or insulation failure of electrical power plant assets, based on geospatial and temporal correlation. In this process, it can be inferred that repeated geospatial correlations indicate poorly performing lightning protection. This information set forms a basis that can facilitate prioritisation of maintenance routines and money spent on network improvement for specific locations of the network. The ultimate output of the methodology is a map which indicates poorly performing segments of a power line in relation to lightning activity exposure. The method reduces unmanageably large (~108) multi-dimensional datasets into a user-friendly 3D geospatial representation that can be readily interpreted and actioned. The method produces convincing correlations that can form the basis for preliminary investigation and adapted to many potential uses.

Lightning strikes can cause damage to building structures, damage to equipment and human victims. To prevent the danger of lightning strikes, it is necessary to study the characteristics of lightning, known as lightning parameters. One of the lightning parameters is lightning peak current. Direct measurement of lightning peak current has been carried out in West Java such as Bandung, Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Cirebon using tall tower and high structure since 1993. The measurement system consists of magnetic tape and lightning event counter. This system was installed at the bottom of lightning protection system. A method to obtain the lightning data massively and easily is presented. Based on 35 measurement results, it was obtained 16 $mathbf{kA}$ for 50% probability of lightning events in West Java. This statistic is expected to help engineer to design lightning protection system using local data in West Java.

Estimating the transient magnetic field generated by a direct lightning strike is essential to protect sensitive electronic devices in industrial facilities. The accuracy of the estimation depends on the approach and the representatives of the model. Out of the different alternatives available in the literature, the full-wave methods are usually the most reliable. Nevertheless, there is still uncertainty in the results because considering all the components of the electromagnetic environment in the models is virtually impossible. To validate the representation of reinforced concrete structures in full-wave simulations, in this paper, we compare the magnetic field measured between two interconnected reinforced concrete walls to the magnetic field computed using CST Studio Suite. Similar tendencies for the distribution of the peak-values are observed; yet, some adjustments may be necessary to reproduce the waveforms.

In this paper the analysis, design, construction and validation of a prototype of a low-ohmic coaxial resistor made of rip-stop conductive fabric to measure 8/20 μs lightning current impulses, is described. To understand the limitations and variations of the impedance characteristics of the tested conductive fabric, the measured results were contrasted with a Rogowski coil and a calibrated Haefely coaxial cylindrical shunt. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the studied rip-stop conductive fabric could be used, as a low resistive material, in the construction of coaxial low-ohmic resistors. Additionally, the experimental set-up can be used to characterize such textiles under different lightning-like current amplitudes.

Three distinct data sets are analyzed in terms of probability of flashes having subsequent strokes with higher peak currents than the first stroke in the flash. This type of flashes may have some implication in the shielding failure rate of transmission lines. For three distinct data sets we obtained about 30 % of flashes with a ratio Isub/I1>1. For about 10 % of the flashes the peak current of a subsequent stroke is more the two times the peak of the first stroke, and for about 3 to 4 % of the flashes we obtained a ratio Isub/Il is grater then 3.
