Characterization Of Lightning Induced Voltages On Overhead Power Lines, Wen-Ta Hsiao May 1994

Characterization Of Lightning Induced Voltages On Overhead Power Lines, Wen-Ta Hsiao

Theses

The transient voltage surge caused by lightning is the major source contributed to the disturbance on power systems. The calculation of induced voltages, which is the propagated voltage surge on overhead power lines due to indirect lightning strokes, has been the subject of theoretical and experimental studies. The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive numerical method to study the induced voltages on an overhead power line caused by a lightning return stroke with arbitrary shapes, for examples inclined lightning, zigzag lightning, etc.

A finite-length lightning channel of any direction in 3-D space has been modelled and closed-form …
