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 …

In this paper, we are interested in the study of electromagnetic (EM) field waveforms
generated by a lightning strike to a tower located on a trapezoidal mountain. The latter has a …

We analyze slow electric field change and lightning mapping measurements to provide
insight into the characteristics of volcanic lightning and the associated implications on …

This paper presents the effect of the terrain geometry in lightning induced voltages
calculation on power distribution networks. We have calculated the electromagnetic fields …

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 …

This paper presents the results of a radiated electromagnetic field due to lightning strike to a
tall tower sitting on a mountainous terrain when considering both the first and subsequent …
