Impulse ageing of polymeric materials

, 2011
Impulse over-voltage is a common phenomenon in electric power systems. A switching impulse is created by a switching surge or local fault while a lightning impulse is due to direct lightning strike to high voltage plant such as an overhead line.

Structural fault analysis of air-core reactors under lightning impulse

Zhejiang dianli
In ultra-high voltage （UHV） converter stations， the encapsulation of air-core reactors may deform under lightning impulse due to electromagnetic forces， which may induce structural faults and jeopardize the safe operation of power system. To address this

Ground Potential Rise and Transient Response of the Grounding Grid Based on the Triggered Lightning

应用气象学报, 2020
It is extremely dangerous of ground grid potentials which significantly rise when the lightning currents are flowing through the grid. A statistical analysis on 39 return-strokes, 10 M-components and the ground potential rise (GPR) caused by them based ...

Leadership and Accountability in Faith‐Based Institutions: Evidence From UK Mosques

Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates accountability in religious institutions on the basis of evidence obtained from interviews with relevant parties in UK mosques. We mobilize prior theoretical contention regarding servant leadership and constraints on personal accountability to expose perceptions of seriously deficient discharge outcomes.

Two Faces of the Anti‐Inclusion Neoconservative Coin in Brazil: Neoliberalism and Far‐Right

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil has recently experienced the resurgence of the far‐right, a movement that has also occurred in other countries around the world. Given this context, this article seeks to understand the factors that enabled the union among neoliberalism, neoconservatism, and the far‐right in Brazil, demonstrating that in times of economic crisis the ...

Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.
