Research on Differentiated Lightning Protection of Overhead Distribution Lines under Continuous Lightning Strikes

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Distribution lines are an important component of the power system. Lightning disasters have serious adverse effects on the reliability of power supply in distribution networks. In response to the current lack of research on lightning protection in distribution networks under continuous lightning strikes, this paper built a transient simulation model and calculated the lightning withstanding level and lightning outage rate of distribution lines under continuous lightning strikes. In addition, the impact of different factors on the lightning withstanding level and lightning outage rate of distribution lines under continuous lightning strikes was calculated for different lightning protection strategies. Finally, differentiated lightning protection strategies based on the lightning outage rate calculation were proposed.
