Indirect Lightning Performance of a Real Distribution Network with focus on Transformer Protection

Description:
The paper applies the Monte Carlo procedure proposed by the Authors to evaluate the indirect lightning performance of a real medium-voltage distribution network, which includes feeders and laterals, p... see moreoles, secondary substations and surge protection devices. Such a procedure allows inferring the amplitude of lightning-induced voltages at any point and any phase of the network. The analysis presented in this paper aims at assessing the expected mean time between failures of each MV/LV transformer caused by indirect lightning strikes.
A heuristic technique has been specifically developed to reduce the computational effort despite the non-linear response of the network enhanced by the presence of surge arresters.

Selection of MV/LV Transformers to be Protected by Surge Arresters against Indirect Lightning Overvoltages

Description:
The papers addresses the problem of locating surge protective devices in a medium voltage distribution network by means of an accurate computer model for the calculation of lightning induced overvolta... see moreges and a Monte Carlo statistical procedure. The indirect lightning performance of small network cells of different configuration are evaluated and used as a benchmark for the validation of the surge arrester locations provided by a genetic algorithm procedure. The obtained results appear useful for the lightning protection design of networks
with complex topology.

Indirect-Lightning Performance of Overhead Distribution Networks With Complex Topology

Description:
The paper deals with the evaluation of the indirect-lightning performance of overhead distribution networks. The novelty of this contribution is that it takes into account the inherent complexity of d... see moreistribution networks. These networks are indeed characterized by a plurality of lines (main feeder and laterals) and also by the presence of typical power components (e.g., transformers and surge arresters); they consequently differ considerably from the straight line configuration generally adopted in this type of studies.
To accomplish such an evaluation we have extended the general procedure already presented in a previous paper based on the use of the LIOV code along with the Monte Carlo method. The extended procedure combines the advantage of the LIOV-EMTP computer code—that allows the calculation of lightning-induced voltages in complex distribution networks—with a heuristic technique specifically developed and integrated in the Monte Carlo routine in order to reduce the computational effort. The application of the proposed procedure to a set of distribution overhead networks characterized by different topologies, but all of the same length, shows that, in general, the usual single straight-line approach may result into a misestimation of the indirect-lightning performance. The paper also analyzes and discusses the influence of both the line terminations, and the position of the line poles.
