A methodology is proposed and applied to determine the variation of soil resistivity and
permittivity in the typical range of lightning current frequency components. The response of …

The lightning current waveform has a major influence on the dynamic performance of
ground electrodes. While high lightning current intensity improves the dynamic grounding …

This paper proposes a modelling and simulation process for assessing the energy
absorption capability of metal oxide varistor (MOV) surge arresters used for lightning …

This paper addresses the requirements of tower-footing electrodes for ensuring improved
lightning performance of transmission lines. The response of typical arrangements of …

The minimum backflashover current, I BF, of typical overhead transmission lines is estimated
through ATP-EMTP simulations considering the tower ground resistance and AC voltage …

Grounding is the fundamental measure of lightning protection for power systems, industries,
and buildings, and the lightning impulse behavior of grounding electrodes plays a very …

It is important to ensure that a grounding system is designed with a low magnitude of earth
resistance, so the protection system can divert the large fault current to earth effectively. The …

Lightning overvoltages threaten the safe operation of the photovoltaic (PV) power system.
This document uses the generalized modified mesh current method and establishes a time …

The reliability and availability of the electric power transmission system is severely
influenced by lightning. In Brazil, roughly 65% of the overhead transmission lines outages …
