The results show that, the lightning moves from north to south, mainly concentrated in the Jiangpu District, Jiangning District, Liuhe District and the center of Nanjing where lightning current is the strongest with the average of 31.06kA. During the development period of thunderstorm, cloud flash is relatively more active than cloud-ground flash, the occurrence of cloud flash indicates that the thunderstorm is coming and strengthening. Less lightning happen when echo scatters and low intensity, with the development of echo, lightning become intense, the combined reflective factor changes consistently with lightning. The change trend of lightning density is basically consistent with echo top height, the higher the echo top is, the more lightning happens. Lightning intensity changes slightly behind the echo top height. Before the first cloud flash, electric field changes quickly, with the sharp change of electric field, the thunderstorm becomes mature, lightning frequency increases rapidly until the storm dissipated, the electric field changes slowly, then lightning reduce. Three-dimensional lightning combined with other observation data, can be better used in the study of thunderstorm which has an important practical significance on the lightning monitoring and early warning.","PeriodicalId":296478,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127081303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aspects of such methodologies are reviewed. The simplifications and approximations adopted to determine the outage rate are discussed. Systematic simulations are developed considering a typical 138-kV line configuration. The obtained results in terms of peak overvoltage, critical current and backflashover rate are compared with those obtained by an advanced methodology composed by an accurate electromagnetic model (HEM) to calculate the overvoltage across insulator strings and an elaborate model (Disruptive effect - DE) to evaluate the flashover occurrence across insulators. Very distinct backflashover outage rates were presented. In general, CIGRE and IEEE methodologies yield large and lower outage rate, respectively, in comparison to those estimated by the advanced methodology. The results indicate the need of incorporating the recent advances of the area in the calculation of outage rate, aiming the improvement of the quality of the results given by traditional methodologies.","PeriodicalId":296478,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133371556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The loop is modeled as a transmission line having two possible configurations: two wires above ground and one wire above ground. The inducing electric field components are introduced gradually, in order to identify the effect of each one of them. It is shown that the electric field components due to the scalar potential also produce scattered voltages in the loop. The results show that the propagation of the scattered voltages produces large oscillations on the induced voltage, and that their amplitude and wavelength increases with increasing loop length. It is also shown that the electric field developed in lossy ground has no effect on the induced voltages if the loop is above ground, but it has a predominant effect if the loop is on the ground surface.","PeriodicalId":296478,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124202997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that, these pulses are similar to downward lightning pulses and therefore, they were well detected by the network. This report is based on a set of 29 upward lightning and 16 downward lightning whose strike points are known. All lightning used were recorded in the Jaraguá Peak region. High-speed cameras and electric field sensors were used in this analysis to find out the rise time of the waveform and the peak value of the electric field. The comparison with the pulses of the downward lightning recorded by cameras allowed us to validate the BrasilDAT network, determining the detection efficiency and location error. We found a detection efficiency of 37-56%, and a location error of approximately 600 meters. It was observed that the M components of the upward lightning resemble the subsequent return strokes of the downward lightning because the luminosity prior to the pulse is low and the rise time of the electric field waveform is short. The current peaks of the pulses of the upward and downward lightning were intense. These facts explain why BrasilDAT captured these pulses, since the networks tend to discard pulses with low intensity and long rise times.","PeriodicalId":296478,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126569077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Energy Balance method, values for the critical electric field and thermal soil constant were determined.

For the impulse withstand analysis considering the bare cable, the up-and-down method is used for determining the critical flashover overvoltage (CFO) of the structure. The corresponding Vxt curve is also determined using the standard procedures. For the impulse withstand analysis considering the XPLE-covered cable, the breakdown voltage was determined in two different laboratory tests, the first one considering a brand new cable and the second one considering a punctured cable.
