An accurate evaluation of the lightning performance of overhead power distribution lines, that is, the evaluation of the expected number of annual flashovers, can be obtained by the application of the Monte Carlo method. In order to reduce the computational effort, a simplified waveform of the channel base current is generally assumed, for example, a linearly rising current with flat top. This paper...
When assessing the lightning performance of distribution lines, major attention is in general devoted to the induced voltages from nearby strikes rather than to direct events hitting the line, as the latter are always expected to cause a fault in the line. This paper proposes a Monte Carlo procedure capable to make it possible the evaluation of the overvoltage probability due to both indirect and...
