In the name of sustainability, renewable energy production plays an increasing role in the electricity generation. With the spread of photovoltaic power plants, new challenges are emerging for experts to maintain grid stability due to their dependence of sunlight intensity. The fact, that power generation of these power plants can be unpredictable, must be considered. In addition, growing in numbers also means that the lightning protection of photovoltaic power plants is more and more important to ensure their energy generation during appropriate weather conditions. According to the standardized procedure, the lightning protection of these systems can be constructed. The paper indicates, the calculations strictly based on the standard are leading to a protection system that is not cost-efficient and - in most cases - elements of the primary protection system can be neglected without significantly lowering the protection level. In order to demonstrate a more efficient way to create primary protection, a real photovoltaic power plant is featured in this article. The method to examine the geometry and plan a more efficient primary lightning protection system is based on the PMAS theory. Different zones of the examined photovoltaic power plant are selected to present the calculation.

A wire breakage accident of overhead power distribution lines (OPDL) has a great impact on the reliability of power supply and public safety. As the wire of an OPDL has been changed from a bare wire to an insulated (covered) wire, the number of wire breakage accidents increases rapidly. Regarding the wire breakage of insulated wires, the authors explain the mechanism of the OPDL wire breakage accident and evaluate the countermeasures used in Japan. Insulated wires are more susceptible to wire breakage accidents than bare wires. Also, when a lightning strike occurs on a support pole of a distribution line, a wire breakage accident is most likely to occur. In rare cases, the wire breaks in the middle between two poles. Its cause is mostly a side flash from a tree. In Japan, various methods such as improved electric wires, special arcing horns, and arcing horns with zinc oxide elements have been applied as measures against wire breaking, and certain effects have been confirmed.

The paper presents a comprehensive study on the effect of frequency dependence of multilayer soil electrical parameters (SEPs) on ground potential rise (GPR). The lightning current has a large effect on the GPR. Typical analysis has often been based on quasistatic approximation that disregards the exact model of the grounding systems in the transient analysis of electrical networks, input impedance and GPR. To compute GPR in this paper, the full-wave approach based on the MoM solution to Maxwell equations is employed. To model the transient behavior of grounding systems, this method uses minimal approximations to find out GPR. The frequency dependence of SEPs combined with a multilayer soil are two complex issues that are modeled together. In the analysis of the GPR, special attention is given to the influences emanating from the soil multilayer structure and frequency dependency of SEPs. The GPR is calculated for three different soil configuration namely: 1) single layer, 2) two layer and 3) multilayer. From the simulations, the peak value of the GPR reduces when the frequency dependence of SEPs are taken into account. It is shown that considering the frequency dependent of multilayer SEPs can affect on the input impedance of grounding systems and GPR calculations.

Ground potential rise (GPR) is a crucial factor in the measurement of lightning protection. To quantitatively analyze the GPR when lightning hits the transmission lines or buildings, we need a mathematical model that describes the grounding system. This paper proposes a modeling method for grounding systems based on the curve fitting and system identification methods. We used a 600 mm x 600 mm grounding plate to verify the validity of the proposed modeling method. The valid soil resistivity of the result model created by proposed method ranges from 0.1 Ωm to 2000 Ωm, and the maximum frequency of the adaptable input signal is 8 MHz. The resulting transfer function model can be taken as an electrical component to link with other circuits in most of commercial circuit simulation software.

It has been demonstrated that the way to change behaviours and misconceptions about concepts, in this case lightning protection, requires continuity over time and interdisciplinary work. The GeoRayos Project was born more than 6 years ago trying to provide a tool both in the operational part of the meteorological alerts, as well as in the protection of people. In this context we present the evolution of GeoRayos, which shows the importance of the synergy between different institutions in order to carry out our objectives. This new version has a differentiated structure for the general public and for decision-makers, with the addition of information on protection and social networks. Nowadays, GeoRayos is currently used by decision makers from various institutions such as Civil Defense, National Fire Management Service, and National Parks, as well as meteorologists from the Argentine National Meteorological Service.

The protection of certain game species against lightning in the African and particularly, South African context, is important also from a conservation perspective. With little to no information published on lightning impulse current threat levels to quadrupeds, estimated threat levels are important to the engineer designing the protection system for these animals. Based on earlier published literature and studies related to safety of electric security fences and tasers, anticipated lightning ventricular fibrillation current for selected African game species was derived and discussed. The latter allows for the design engineer to introduce a safety margin and to design the required external lightning protection system.

An advanced procedure based on Monte Carlo method is applied to determine the so-called span factor for lightning performance evaluations of typical 138-kV-, 230-kV-, and 500-kV transmission line with realistic distributions of tower-footing grounding impedance. The procedure assumes the Hybrid Electromagnetic Model to determine overvoltages across insulator strings, the Disruptive effect method to assess backflashover occurrence and Love's attractiveness model to represent the distribution of lightning strikes along the line. A slight variation of the span factor was found for realistic distributions of tower-footing impedance along the line. Considering the same attractiveness for towers and shield wires, values of the span factor of about 0.8, 0.56, 0.37 were found, respectively for the 138-kV, 230-kV, and 500-kV transmission lines.

This paper reports the observation of microwave and very high frequency (VHF) radiation pulses associated with the first narrow (<10us) initial breakdown (IB) pulses of ten negative cloud-to-ground (-CG) flashes. The centre frequency of microwave and VHF sensors was 0.97 GHz and 60 MHz, respectively. We found that all microwave pulses were the initiation event led the first VHF pulses ranging between 0.03187 and 2.57968 µs and led the first narrow IB pulses ranging between 0.02382 and 2.70202 µs. Half of the VHF pulses were observed to lead the first narrow IB pulses ranging between 0.03453 and 0.128 µs. Moreover, polarity of microwave radiation pulses was always positive while the polarity of the first narrow IB pulses always negative. On the other hand, half of VHF radiation pulses had the same polarity as microwave radiation pulses.

Improvement of transmission line tower grounding is of particular importance for the line service quality. The tower transient impedance is a key parameter for the prediction and estimation of transmission line performance under abnormal conditions including lightning strikes. In this paper we compare the impulse impedance to the low frequency resistance of the tower by evaluating their respective effects on back-flashovers estimation. Based on real-case scenarios of grounding system configurations the critical current is computed and analysed to estimate the gain in the tower-footing grounding system design.

The pace of innovation in composite materials R&D in regard to wind turbine rotor blades has increased drastically in recent years. Composite materials, such as glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and diverse core materials in the sandwich structures plays a predominant role in multi-megawatt-class wind turbines. Catastrophic rotor blade failure caused by lightning is discussed and modelled with a high-frequency impedance model. The structural failure mechanism (blade collapse) is mainly associated with mechanical rotor blades' root failure. An additional hypothesis caused by electrical stress during lighting strikes in the structure material is introduced, leading to results that may reflect additional explanations of this condition. The high-frequency impedance model presented in this study is intended to represent a first approach in the estimation of electrical stress within the blade structure during a lightning strike. This approach could provide additional support to assess the risk of dielectric strength breakdown within the blade and contribute to the validation of numerical analysis and electrical measurements with less effort to conduct.
