An accurate evaluation of the lightning performance of overhead power distribution lines,
that is, the evaluation of the expected number of annual flashovers, can be obtained by the …

This paper proposes the application of a recursive stratified sampling technique for
improving the assessment of the lightning performance of power distribution lines through …

This paper presents a probabilistic evaluation, based on Monte-Carlo method, to estimate
back flashover rate (BFR) and shielding failure flashover rate (SFFOR) of overhead …

Lightning-induced voltages are one of the main causes of shutdown in distribution lines. In
this work, attention is focused on the effects of wideband modeling of electric grounding in …

Installing lightning arresters is an effective way to protect distribution lines from lightning-
induced voltages. Spacing effectiveness of lightning arresters is one of the main concerns in …

The paper presents a comprehensive study on the lightning performance of overhead
distribution lines located on high resistivity soil considering both indirect and direct strokes …

An exact analytical expression for the electric field of the return stroke as excited by a
propagating step current source is derived in this paper. This expression could be …

It is essential that the insulation system of the overhead distribution lines should be properly
designed to ensure their immunity against lightning-induced overvoltages (LIOVs) caused …

This article presents the Lightning Performance (LP) assessment of a realistic portion of the
Italian distribution network with the use of probability distributions for lightning parameters …

This paper presents an approximate formula for the peak-value of the lightning overvoltages
induced on aerial lines installed over high resistivity ground, which is valid up to 10 kΩ m …
