脉冲泄流时土壤条件对冲击接地阻抗的影响

 为了探寻电流脉冲泄流时，设备的接地是否有效可靠，用FDTD法分析了脉冲泄流时均一土壤、分层土壤及局部改善土壤的电导率对冲击接地阻抗（TGR）的影响。结果表明：大地电导率对冲击接地阻抗的影响很大；对均一土壤，TGR随大地电导率的增大而减小，大地电导率越大，TGR对接地体的埋深越不敏感。对分层土壤，接地体要埋在大地电导率大的土壤层中，且不要靠近交界面；局部改善大地导电性能对降低TGR效果明显，TGR对改善区域的体积非常敏感，而当电导率大于一定值时，大地电导率的再增加，对TGR的影响不明显。     

Investigating the validity of existing definitions and empirical equations of effective length/area of grounding wire/grid for transient studies

There are various definitions for effective length/area of grounding wire/grid for lightning transients [A.S. Farag, T.C. Cheng, D. Penn, Grounding terminations of lightning protective systems, IEEE Trans. Dielectics, Elect. Insul 5(6) (1998) 869–877; B.R. Gupta, B. Thapar, Impulse impedance of grounding grid, IEEE Trans. Power Apparatus Syayem PAS-99(6) (1980) 2357–2362; Y. Liu, N. Theethayi, R. Thottappillil, An engineering model for transient analysis of grounding system under lightning strikes: non–uniform transmission line approach. IEEE Trans. Power Delivery 20 (2) (2005) 722–730; M.I. Lorentzou, N.D. Hatziargriou, Modelling of long grounding conductors using EMTP, in: IPST’99, International Conference on Power System Transients, Budapest, 20–24 June, 1999; L.D. Grcev, M. Heimbach, Frequency dependent and transient characteristics of substation grounding system, IEEE Trans. Power Delivery 12 (1997) 172–178.]. The present work investigates and discusses the validity of those existing definitions. Further, practical methods for estimating the effective length/area of different grounding structures are proposed for engineering applications. The calculations for effective length/area based on non-uniform transmission line approach (Liu et al., 2005) show that, for a single grounding wire, the empirical equation for effective length in Farag et al. (1998) is not valid when the injection current has very fast rise time. Also, the empirical equation for effective length of grid edge in Gupta and Thapar (1980) is not applicable for grids with large inner mesh size.     

Significant parameters affecting a lightning stroke to a horizontal conductor

This paper studies different parameters affecting a lightning stroke to a horizontal conductor. An electromagnetic model has been constructed to consider the influences of different lightning and horizontal conductor parameters and ambient conditions on the lateral striking distance. The results show that lightning leader parameters, horizontal conductor voltage, horizontal conductor height, and ground slope have a series effect on the lateral striking distance. Based on the results, recommendations are made to decrease the lightning stroke to the horizontal conductor.

Electrical properties of dry soil under high impulse currents

To date, no publication has been made on dry soil characteristics under high impulse current conditions. This is because, no conduction current was detected in the dry soil, which may be due to high bulk resistance in the dry soil, limitations in the impulse generator and in the transducers adopted during the tests. In this study, however, for the first time, conduction current in dry soil was observed, despite the high resistivity of the dry soil and the large equivalent resistance of the test cell. It would be expected that the ionization process occurred mainly in the dry soil, since there is no water path in dry soil, and the voids are filled mainly with air. The goal of this paper is to contribute a better understanding of the ionization and thermal phenomena that occur in dry soil.

Examples of calculating the probabilities of lightning strike to the lightning rod and neighboring areas are presented.

闪电脉冲电磁场在地下空间的分布特性

为了研究闪电脉冲电磁场(LEMP)在地下传播的过程与空间分布特性,本文采用一种改进的时域有限差分法(FDTD)计算了LEMP在整个地下空间的传播过程.与以往发表的研究只局限在个别观察点的讨论不同,本文通过计算得到了空间中所有网格位置上的电磁场、时间导数、功率密度和能量密度及它们的峰值,并将它们按照空间坐标表示在相应的分布彩图中.发现在靠近地表和远离闪电通道的区域内,LEMP的各个分量同时在平行和垂直地面的两个方向上呈指数型衰减.其中磁场与水平电场的峰值在整个空间极性统一,且呈现类双指数形分布.而垂直电场在地下的峰值分为极性相反的两个区域,并且靠近闪电通道的区域呈类球状分布.其他特性参量也有类似以上的空间分布特点.并且本文通过对不同大地电导率、电容率、放电通道模型和基电流情况的计算,发现虽然在个别情况下LEMP在地下空间的数值整体增大,但整体分布特征并未改变.即使是在水平或垂直分层大地的情况下,同一层内部仍然具有相同的分布规律.甚至是在击中避雷针情况下,LEMP在地下空间的分布特点也仍然未变.而这些分布规律和特征的发现和利用,将为地下管线、设备、线缆的电磁防护设计与位置规划提供重要的支持.

Mathematical description of leader channel propagation for selection of model experiment parameters and lightning guard systems

A statistical model of the leader channel propagating toward the Earth with consideration for its orientation relative to grounded objects is proposed, and the results obtained are compared with the predictions of model experiments. Recommendations of how to optimize model experiment conditions for gaining insight into the electric mechanism of the leader channel orientation relative to ground objects are given. The probability of hitting an area protected by a lightning conductor is calculated, and possible ways of improving lightning protection devices are outlined.     

The striking distance of lightning flashes and the early streamer emission (ESE) hypothesis

The attachment of a lightning flash to a lightning conductor (or to any other structure) takes place through a connecting leader that rises from the structure towards the descending stepped leader of a lightning flash. The spatial separation between the tip of the stepped leader and the lightning conductor (or the grounded structure) at the initiation of the connecting leader is known as the striking distance. In this paper the striking distance of stepped leaders is derived as a function of conductor height, conductor radii and the prospective return stroke current. Based on these results the validity of the early streamer emission (ESE) hypothesis is discussed. According to the ESE hypothesis, the striking distance of a lightning conductor can be increased by the artificial initiation of streamers from a lightning conductor. The results cast doubt on the validity of the ESE hypothesis. This in turn calls for more experimental data and field validations before using the ESE hypothesis in standard lightning protection practice.     

New method for lightning location using optical ground wire

A new technology of lightning location is described, which is based on detecting the state of polarization(SOP) fluctuation of the laser light in the optic ground wire (OPGW). Compared with the conventional lightning location method, the new method is more accurate, more stable, and cheaper. Theories of Stokes generated by lightning strike can still be accurately identified by detecting the velocity of polarization motion. A new algorithm to quantify the velocity is also introduced.     

An analysis on the Frequency-dependent grounding impedance based on the ground current dissipation of counterpoises in the two-layered soils

Because of the increased usage of power conversion equipment and their susceptibility to lightning strikes, high frequency fault currents flowing through grounding systems are increased. As grounding systems change from individual groundings to common or integrated groundings, the improved performance of grounding systems against high frequency fault currents is urgently required. When regarding the common or integrated grounding systems, most of them are required to satisfy the ground resistance defined by standards or regulations. The grounding system performance against high frequency fault currents is defined by the grounding impedance. A number of studies have reported that grounding system performance is reduced due to the increase of the grounding impedance with increasing of the frequency of fault currents. In this paper, in order to investigate the characteristics of the frequency-dependent grounding impedances of counterpoises installed in the two-layered soils, the ground current dissipation rates in each 10 m section of the counterpoises were measured and analyzed as functions of the length of grounding electrodes and the current injection point. As a result, most of the ground currents above the frequency of 100 kHz are dissipated into the earth near the current injection point and the high frequency grounding impedance of long counterpoises is converged into that of short counterpoises. The high frequency grounding impedance measured at the low soil-resistivity end of the counterpoise buried in the two-layered soils is much lower than that measured at the high soil-resistivity end.     

The interaction between a lightning flash and an aircraft in flight

Roughly speaking, every commercial airliner is struck by lightning once per year. Thus, the lightning strike to aircraft is not uncommon and it poses an appreciable threat to flight safety. The understanding of the lightning strike to aircraft has been greatly enhanced during the last years thanks to a comprehensive analysis of data collected from instrumented aircraft that have been flown into thunderstorm regions. In this article, we will start with the phenomenology of the lightning strike to aircraft and continue with going deeper into the underlying physics of selected processes during the strike.

On the streamer discharges emitted from the head of a person located in the vicinity of lightning strikes and their possible consequences

In this paper the currents associated with the streamer discharges generated from the head of a person located in the vicinity of a lightning strike are investigated. In the analysis the location of the person with respect to the lightning strike is selected in such a way that only a streamer burst, without the formation of a connecting leader, is emitted from the head. The current associated with these streamer bursts could exceed several hundreds of mA and may last for several hundreds of microseconds. The results of the calculation show that the passage of the streamer currents through the body of the person could create electric fields in the brain large enough to excite neurons. Depending on the strength of lightning flash and the distance to the strike point these streamer bursts can give rise to phosphenes which are a form of visual experience that occurs when the visual cortex is stimulated by electric currents.
