Based on circuit theory and measured current data, a π-equivalent circuit was established to simulate the transient response of the grounding grid.Nineteen return strokes from three artificially triggered lightning events were analyzed. The peak currents of the 19 return strokes range from -6.7 to -25.1 kA, and the mean value was -14.3 kA. The GPR decreased rapidly and formed a subpeak after reaching the initial peak, with the mean value of the initial peak being -148.65 kV and the mean value of the subpeak being -92.87 kV. The GPR induced by the triggered lightning currents exhibited a subpeak phenomenon. Simulation results indicate that the subpeak phenomenon is related to localized corrosion of the vertical grounding electrode. The potential difference at the grounding grid edge exhibited a multi-pulse waveform with alternating polarity, dominated by positive pulses. The peak values of both the positive and negative polarity pulses gradually decreased, with the first positive pulse displaying a significantly higher intensity than that of subsequent pulses.展开更多

As for the inner belt, cosmic ray albedo neutron decay(CRAND),radial diffusion, and local acceleration have been considered principal sources of electrons, whereas protons are predominantly from CRAND and solar protons.

It often causes huge losses to the electric system. The Wuhan High Voltage Institute of the State Grid Corporation of China and Huazhong University of Science and Technology have been researching and developing lightning location systems （LLSs） since the late 1980s. In the mid-1990s, a lightning detection network was created in 29 provinces and cities in China. It is primarily applied to rapidly find lightning accidents, which greatly reduces power interruption. Also, it ensures high efficiency and safe operation of the electricity system. Remarkable benefit is achieved. China＇s LLS went through an ＂orientation positioning - time difference positioning - integrated positioning＂ development process. The positioning precision, detection efficiency, degree of automation, practicability and applied range are improved. Also, a lightning information system plan of the national network has been implemented, which services the whole society.展开更多

文摘In this study, the ground potential rise(GPR) phenomenon caused by a lightning current injected into a field-shaped artificial grounding grid, as well as the potential difference between two different nodes at the edge of the grounding grid, was observed and analyzed under artificially triggered lightning conditions. Based on circuit theory and measured current data, a π-equivalent circuit was established to simulate the transient response of the grounding grid.Nineteen return strokes from three artificially triggered lightning events were analyzed. The peak currents of the 19 return strokes range from -6.7 to -25.1 kA, and the mean value was -14.3 kA. The GPR decreased rapidly and formed a subpeak after reaching the initial peak, with the mean value of the initial peak being -148.65 kV and the mean value of the subpeak being -92.87 kV. The GPR induced by the triggered lightning currents exhibited a subpeak phenomenon. Simulation results indicate that the subpeak phenomenon is related to localized corrosion of the vertical grounding electrode. The potential difference at the grounding grid edge exhibited a multi-pulse waveform with alternating polarity, dominated by positive pulses. The peak values of both the positive and negative polarity pulses gradually decreased, with the first positive pulse displaying a significantly higher intensity than that of subsequent pulses.

文摘Transient simulation are more economical and adaptable means of studying lightning overvoltage for overhead distribution line system compared to experiments.A hybrid multi-transmission-line(MTL)-partial element equivalent circuit(PEEC)method proposed for lightning-induced electromagnetic pulse(LEMP)simulation is verified using the rocket-triggered experimental results under a more complex line configuration for the first time.This method can improve computational efficiency while ensuring calculation accuracy.The agreement between experimental and simulation results further validates the adaptability and accuracy of the proposed method,which is adopted to calculate the LEMP on the extended double-circuit parallel unequal length line.The effects of various factors,such as the strike-point location,the amplitude and waveform of the lightning current,the line shape and length on the amplitude of overvoltage and pole flashover along the line are discussed.For double-circuit distribution lines,when lightning strikes the ground in front of centre of circuit I,the three-phase voltage waveforms are similar,all of which are negative or bipolar oscillation waves.The closer the lightning strike point is to the line,the greater the amplitude of the lightning current,and the voltage waveform develops towards a bipolar waveform,but the main peak remains negative.As the amplitude of lightning current increases,the maximum lightning-induced voltage amplitude along the line increases.The LEMP caused by the subsequent return-stroke current is always greater than that caused by the first returnstroke current.When the grounding resistance increases,the maximum voltage peak amplitude along the line remains unchanged.

文摘In the past,the lightning strike risk assessment of wind farms mainly referred to the Lightning Protection Part 2:Risk Management(IEC 62305-2-2010)and the Lightning Protection of Wind Energy System(IEC 61400-24-2019)based on protection angle method.In fact,the basic idea of the two is the same,that is,the source of the lightning fan is replaced by S1-S4 of the former lightning building with the latter ND-NDJ.According to the above method of wind farm evaluation,it has been proved that the practice can not achieve good results.Taking offshore wind farm as an example,this paper introduces a new method of establishing six evaluation indicators to determine the risk level according to the new technology and compliance principle of regional lightning protection(semi-circular method),which can be used for reference by wind farm technicians.
文摘It is one of the most effective ways to use laboratory long air gap discharges for investigating the fundamental process involved in the lightning strike.During the 1960s and the 1970s,the electro-geometrical method(EGM)and the rolling sphere method were developed base on the breakdowncharacteristics of negative long spark discharges,which have been widely used to design the lightning shielding system of transmission lines and structures.In recent years,the scale of the power facilities is increased dramatically with the rising of power grid's voltage level.The impact of upward connecting leader launched from those large-scale facilities on the lightning shielding performance cannot be neglected;otherwise,the validity of the EGM in the lightning shielding design of EHV and UHV transmission lines will be challenged.The research evolutions on the lightning striking distance,the lightning simulation experiments and the positive upward connecting leader process by using laboratory long sparks are reviewed and discussed in this paper.
文摘At present, lightning is one of the 10 natural disasters, and it is also the top environmental factor of power interruption. It often causes huge losses to the electric system. The Wuhan High Voltage Institute of the State Grid Corporation of China and Huazhong University of Science and Technology have been researching and developing lightning location systems （LLSs） since the late 1980s. In the mid-1990s, a lightning detection network was created in 29 provinces and cities in China. It is primarily applied to rapidly find lightning accidents, which greatly reduces power interruption. Also, it ensures high efficiency and safe operation of the electricity system. Remarkable benefit is achieved. China＇s LLS went through an ＂orientation positioning - time difference positioning - integrated positioning＂ development process. The positioning precision, detection efficiency, degree of automation, practicability and applied range are improved. Also, a lightning information system plan of the national network has been implemented, which services the whole society.

文摘Lightning stroke is one of the important causes of the accidents that occur on transmission lines.With the development of power system,the proportion of outages on transmission lines because of lightning stroke also increases.And according to the lightning accidents results,the lightning stroke characteristics is related to the time factors tightly.In order to analyze the correlativity between the lightning flashover amount and the time factors,about 425 times lightning flashover on 187 lines in 10 power supply companies of 220 kV and 500 kV transmission lines during 2000-2007 are investigated in this paper.The correlativity between the lightning flashover amount and the time factors is analyzed.According to the lightning stroke accidents investigation records,the lightning flashover amount of transmission line increases from the year of 2000 to 2007.In each year lightning flashovers mostly happen in the month of June,July and August.Similarly in each day the flashover amount also varies with the time of day obviously.These lightning flashovers mainly occur during 14:00-21:00 in the afternoon.The analysis results in this paper have a good agreement with the meteorological observations and lightning detection data of lightning location system(LLS).And these results provide good reference for the lightning protection work in power system.

文摘Lightning-generated nitrogen oxides(LNO_(x))have a major influence on the atmosphere and global climate change.Therefore,it is of great importance to obtain a more accurate estimation of LNO_(x).The aim of this study is to provide a reference for the accurate estimation of the total LNO_(x) in the mainland of China based on cloud-to-ground lightning(CG)location data from 2014 to 2018.The energy of each CG flash was based on the number of return strokes per CG flash,the peak current of each return stroke,and the assumed CG breakdown voltage.The energy of intracloud lightning(IC)was based on the estimated frequencies of IC and the assumed energy of each IC flash.Combining the energy of lightning and the number of nitric oxide(NO)molecules produced by unit energy(ρno),the total LNO_(x) production in the mainland of China was determined.The LNO_(x) in the mainland of China estimated in this study is in the range(0.157-0.321)×10^(9) kg per year[Tg(N)yr-1],which is on the high end of other scholars’works.Negative cloud-to-ground lightning(NCG)flashes produce the most moles of NO_(x),while positive cloud-to-ground lightning(PCG)flashes produce the least total moles of NO_(x).The breakdown voltage of PCG is greater than that of IC or NCG,while the latter has a greater output of LNO_(x).
