Abstract:
An examination of how the analytically extended function (AEF) can be used to approximate multi-peaked lightning current waveforms, is presented in the paper. A general framework for estimating the parameters of the AEF using the Marquardt least-squares method (MLSM) for a waveform with an arbitrary (finite) number of peaks is presented. This framework is used to find parameters for some common waveforms with a single peak, such as Standard IEC 62305 lightning currents. Illustration of fitting a p-peak AEF to recorded lightning current data is also presented.
