In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the propagation effects of lightning
electromagnetic fields over a mountainous terrain. The analysis is supported by …

This study is performed to analyze the effects of both soil water content and porosity, two of
the influencing factors of the finite conductivity, on the propagation of lightning …

Large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems are normally installed on wide-open area for
converting sunlight into electricity. They face a great challenge of lightning strike. A …

This paper presents an accurate representation of a non-flat lossy ground to study its effect
on the lightning electromagnetic fields as well as the associated induced voltages on …

The effects of real terrain on the lightning magnetic fields and location accuracy are studied
by using two-dimensional finite difference time-domain method. Two estimation methods of …

Wind power plants are one of the most widespread sources of electric energy during the last
few decades. Wind towers are quite often exposed to lightning strikes due to their tall height …

In this article, the effect of a mountain located on the propagation path of lightning-radiated
electromagnetic fields was systematically studied by using the two-dimensional finite …

This paper presents the computed lightning-radiated vertical electric field and azimuthal
magnetic field at the ground level at observing distances ranging from 0.3 to 50 km from the …

This paper evaluates the lightning-induced voltages of two typical multiconductor lines
configurations with or without shielding wires over lossy ground for striking the cone-shaped …

This paper analyzes lightning-induced voltages on distribution lines located on irregular
terrains since it is common, in some places in the world, that real distribution systems are …
