Numerical simulation of overvoltage caused by lightning on aerial power lines, including the corona effect
Abstract
A corona effect analog model is studied, and the influence of surges due to lightning on power lines is discussed. The effect of a lightning strike on lines with and without guard cables was simulated. Results show that the surge is very strongly damped as it travels away from the strike point. The corona effect lengthens front times and dampens the high frequency components of the propagated waves.
