In recent years, severe natural events raised concern about so-called NaTech accident
scenarios: technological accidents caused by the impact of a natural event on an industrial …

The initiation of streamers prior to a lightning strike can be reportedly inhibited by glow
corona discharges generated from tall objects. In contrast to previous studies based on a …

The striking distance and attractive radius of grounded structures to downward lightning
strokes depend significantly on the polarity of the stroke. The paper quantifies the reduction …

Field observations have shown that the frequency of dangerous lightning events to wind
turbines, calculated according to the IEC standard 61400-24: 2010, is grossly …

Fires and explosions triggered by lightning strikes are among the most frequent Natech
scenarios affecting the chemical and process industry. Although lightning hazard is well …

Planning the air-terminations for a structure to be protected the use of the rolling-sphere
method (electro-geometrical model) is the best way from the physics of lightning point-of …

The design and implementation of air termination systems can be significantly improved with
the knowledge of the probability of a lightning strike on a point-by-point basis which …

The self-consistent leader inception and propagation model is used to analyze the influence
of the phase voltage on the attachment of lightning to ultra-high voltage power transmission …

The statistical distribution of peak currents in cloud‐to‐ground lightning strokes is analyzed
and discussed both in the context of the existing experimental data and from a theoretical …

The paper aims at illustrating a procedure for the lightning risk assessment of industrial oil
process plants. The procedure is based on the use of the Monte Carlo method and applies …
