Can you imagine that when you slide gently on an acrylic board with hand, hundreds of
LEDs under the board will be lit up! Here we have found that all matters under forces can …

Upward lightning is rarer than downward lightning and requires tall (100+ m) structures to
initiate. It may be either self‐initiated or triggered by other lightning discharges. While …

Winter lightning poses the greatest threat to wind turbines in coastal areas of the Sea of
Japan. The lower altitude of winter thunderclouds initiates an upward lightning leader. The …

Wind turbine generator (WTG) is the most common equipment installed around the world, in
the renewable energy field, due to lowest cost compared with solar, hydro and geothermal …

Thunderstorm electrical structures favouring cloud-to-ground lightning were investigated
through a Lightning Mapping Array (LMA), an accurate three-dimensional lightning location …

A theoretical discussion of the discharge effects of upward lightning simulated with a fine-
resolution 2D thunderstorm model is performed in this paper, and the results reveal that the …

In this work, the authors model the number of lightning flashes in transmission structures
with Ground Flash Density, height tower, and elevation above sea level as variables. 333 …

The impact of the topological formation of wind farms upon the lightning induced
overvoltages injected into the grid was not covered earlier in literature. However, this topic is …

Interest in exploring the meteorological conditions favoring upward lightning from tall man‐
made structures has grown in recent years, largely due to the worldwide expansion of wind …

The expression “lightning never strikes twice” is questioned in this paper because, among
the randomness of lightning impacts, some spots are hit even more than twice year after …
