This paper aims to carry out an experimental and numerical investigation of the mechanical
behavior of full-scale wooden 123 KV 13 L Cross-arm that used in transmission towers. Two …

In this paper, we conduct a data-driven experimental analysis of lightening-induced
contingencies at a distribution grid in Riverside, CA, using data from three distribution level …

Lightning phenomenon is the main cause of power systems faults. These faults may cause
momentary or permanent service interruptions, thus system reliability is inherently …

The distributed generation (DG) has become very popular in recent years mainly due to their
high efficiency, their benefits to distribution networks (eg, improvement of voltage profiles …

This work investigates voltages on overhead distribution lines produced by direct strokes,
protected by shield wires, placed both above and below phase conductors. An improved …

The effects of lightning are the main cause of interruptions in electrical networks (distribution
feeders), imposing a crucial impact on power quality and reliability. An exhaustive review of …

In this paper, the hybrid PSOGSA, which is a combined algorithm of Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), is proposed to find the …

This paper presents a study of the behavior of distribution feeders against lightning, where
the magnitude of the surge caused by this phenomenon is calculated. The feeder model and …

Energy supply is a significant resource for economic and social development. Power
systems statistics shows that the lightning phenomenon is one of the most important causes …

The reliability of the distribution system relies on the occurrence of lightning phenomena,
which can significantly affect the distribution of electricity and result in power service …
