Lightning protection of the object located on the slope
Herald of the Ural State University of Railway Transport, 2021The article points out the drawback of all the current instructions for the lightning protection device: the lack of instructions for calculating the lightning protection zones of an object located on a slope. The methods of applying the current instructions for the lightning protection device when placing an object on a slope are given, based on the ...

The Belgian Lightning Location System (BELLS)
2023<p>The Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI) has been operating a lightning detection network since 1992. Over the past years, the network has undergone upgrades at the level of soft- and hardware. The present-day Belgian Lightning Location System (BELLS) consists out of 14 LS7002 sensors, out of which five are owned by RMI and ...

Improvements to the BOLT lightning location system
2016 33rd International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), 2016The Broadband Observational network for Lightning and Thunderstorms (BOLT) is a network of low frequency electric field antennas which is capable of mapping lightning flashes in 3D. We are currently investigating improvements to both the hardware design of the BOLT antennas, and to the algorithm used to determine each lightning source location.

Analysis of the French lightning locating system location accuracy
2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA), 2015The location accuracy is one of the important parameters characterizing the performance of a lightning location system. It is also one of the most difficult to determine as the actual location of the discharge being located must be accurately known to achieve a reliable assessment of the real error.

Lightning strike location for overhead lines
IEE Half Day Colloquium on Operational Monitoring of Distribution and Transmission Systems, 1997The author has developed a lightning strike location system which uses radio direction finding techniques to locate lightning strikes as they occur on overhead power lines. The system has been operated as a commercial service since 1989, providing both online information and historical information on lightning activity in the UK and Ireland.
