386 Power System Transients
line B-2, and surge voltages are measured at the voltage application point
and at the No. 2 transformer.
Figure 5.28 shows the measured and FDTD-computed voltage waveforms.
FDTD-computed waveforms agree with the corresponding measured wave-
forms. Note that de Oliveira and Sobrinho [33] performed a similar FDTD
computation for an air-insulated substation struck by lightning.
5.2.7 Wind-Turbine Generator Towers
Wind-turbine generator towers are frequently struck by lightning. In order
to optimize ways to protect wind-turbine generator systems from lightning,
it is important to know the mechanism of lightning overvoltag ...
