A three‐dimensional direct lightning strike model for lightning protection of the substation
IET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2021 Lightning strikes to a substation happen frequently, which has a serious impact on the safety of the power system. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effect of the direct lightning to the substation for the sake of protection.

Atmosphere, 2023 The accurate determination of the annual lightning flash number to a wind turbine is essential for designing proper lightning protection measures. However, the method to assess the lightning risk of wind turbines recommended by the IEC is not associated ...

The response of zircon to the extreme pressures and temperatures of a lightning strike
Scientific Reports, 2021 Hypervelocity impacts can produce features in zircon that are not normally produced by endogenic processes. However, lightning can also induce extreme pressure–temperature excursions, and its effect on zircon has not been studied.

Electronics, 2021 Photovoltaic (PV) systems are subject to nearby lightning strikes that can contribute to extremely high induced overvoltage transients. Recently, the authors introduced a 3D semi-analytical method to study the electromagnetic transients caused by these ...

Carrying the Moral Burden of Safe Fieldwork
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 104, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Fieldwork in ecology and the environmental sciences often leads to negative physical and emotional outcomes for workers. I argue that this is largely due to an abdication of responsibility on the part of their supervisors, and that supervisors are charged with carrying three interlinked moral burdens: first, the duty of promoting safety ...

Canadian contributions to environmetrics
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1355-1386, December 2022., 2022 Abstract This article focuses on the importance of collaboration in statistics by Canadian researchers and highlights the contributions that Canadian statisticians have made to many research areas in environmetrics. We provide a discussion about different vehicles that have been developed for collaboration by Canadians in the environmetrics context as ...

Lightning strike probability and current simulation for simple structures and floating roof tank [PDF]
, 2021 Air terminations must be strategically positioned at high-risk points to prevent lightning bypass. The likelihood of a direct lightning strike to points on a building can be evaluated using the dynamic electro-geometrical model (DEGM), which considers ...

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 . At present the lightning flash density is a key input parameter for assessing the risk of occurrence of a lightning strike in a particular region of interest. Since it is known that flashes tend to have more than one ground termination point on average,
