Locations and Activities of Lightning Casualties

2018
In developed regions of the globe, lightning protection is provided by the ready availability of lightning-safe structures and fully enclosed metal-topped vehicles during most daily activities of most people. In developing economies, in contrast, the lack of such lightning-safe structures and vehicles makes lightning safety very difficult to achieve ...

Analytics of Lightning Data Collected by the Direct Measurement System and Lightning Location System

2018 IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Conference Europe (ISGT-Europe), 2018
The paper presents the analytics of lightning data collected by monitoring system in real - time for the measurement of the direct lightning current (LAMS) and the lightning location system (LINET). The both systems and their operation mode are shortly described. A great number of collected data are analyzed, explained and compared.

Lightning location with linet in Europe

2010 30th International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), 2010
Starting some 10 years ago the ‘Sferics Research’ group at the Physics Department of the University of Munich developed methods for lightning location based on the latest available technologies. Nowcast GmbH, an off-spring of this project, installed in 2006 the new system LINET in Europe and begun full operation.

Lightning protection of the object located on the slope

Herald of the Ural State University of Railway Transport, 2021
The 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 ...

Analysis of the French lightning locating system location accuracy

2015 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XIII SIPDA), 2015
The 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.

Improvements to the BOLT lightning location system

2016 33rd International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), 2016
The 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.

Lightning location system

2009
U Hrvatskoj je krajem 2008.g. prvi put uspostavljen sustav za lociranje udara munja (eng. Lightning Location System – LLS) kao dio poznatog LINET sustava koji u Europi ima oko 100 senzora. Četiri senzora LINET sustava su instalirana na slijedećim lokacijama: Komolac kod Dubrovnika, Split, Melina kod Rijeke i Žerjavinec kod Zagreba.

Lightning Warning and Locator Systems

1993
During the 1991 U.S. Open golf tournament at Hazelton National Golf Club, in Chasca, Minnesota, lightning struck and killed a spectator and injured five others. After the tragedy, newspapers printed their reports under such headlines as “golf must take steps to warn fans of storms” and “lightning detector no guarantee of golf tournament safety.”

Establishment of estimation lightning density method with lightning location system data

IEEE Power Engineering Society. 1999 Winter Meeting (Cat. No.99CH36233), 1999
The lightning strike density level in areas through which power transmission lines will pass is an important factor in designing lightning-proof transmission lines. Formerly, IKL (Tsokeraunic-Level) maps were used to evaluate lighting strike density.
