A lightning detection system based on a large-diameter Rogowski coil and an analog integrator was developed for wind turbine applications and is presented in this paper. To accurately detect lightning current, the Rogowski coil was designed with a lower cutoff frequency of 0.1 Hz. The analog integrator, comprising an inverting active integrator, and an amplifier,…

This manuscript intending to publicize the improvements incorporated in the BrcLightning application, including the Risk Analysis module with the help of a pop-up, which provides the result and assists in the identification of mitigating measures by the professional, which must be defined to reduce the calculated risks. Other points addressed in this extension are the…

Forecasting the occurrence and development of thunderstorms near insured mobile objects, such as aircraft carriers, oil tankers, requires the usage of appropriate single-point monitoring systems (SPMS) of thunderstorm activity. These systems must be small and included in the equipment of the objects. A SPMS based on EH location finder meets the requirements of small dimensions.…

A modern process plant is controlled, operated and safeguarded by the sophisticated distributed control system or a programmable logic controller and an emergency shutdown system. This process plant’s operation could be seriously affected by lightning, electrical switching, and power outrage. Lightning propagation can travel kilometers away, which has the risk of disturbing the control system’s…

The effects of abnormal voltages on power system equipment and appliances in the home have raise concern as most of the equipments are very expensive. Each piece of electrical equipment in an electrical system needs to be protected from surges. To prevent damage to electrical equipment, surge protection considerations are paramount to a well designed…
