Lightning Transient Sensing, Monitoring and Application in Electric Power Systems

Tue, Jan 21, 2025 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM CET

Lightning faults of the transmission lines are randomly distributed throughout the power system. In recent years, significant strides have been made in broadband-frequency voltage and current sensing and monitoring, largely propelled by the rapid evolution toward smarter grids.

This progress owes much to advancements in sensor technology, device manufacturing, and sensor communication networking. The proliferation of low-cost, high-precision voltage and current sensors, along with their monitoring systems, has found extensive application across transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations.

These precise distributed measurements furnish critical details concerning lightning faults, encompassing transient voltage and current characteristics like amplitude, frequency, and waveform.

This webinar is to encapsulate the current state of lightning transient sensing and monitoring in power systems, including advancements in voltage and current sensor technology, distributed sensor network and communication technology. Additionally, the practical applications of these sensor networks in lightning location, fault identification, and intrusion transient analysis are introduced.

This webinar is presented by Prof. Jinliang HE, convener of CIGRE Working Group C4.61, that published their Technical Brochure (available from www.e-cigre.org), in 2024.

The registration to this webinar is free for all, CIGRE members and non-members. Technical Brochures, can be freely downloaded by CIGRE members. If you are not a CIGRE member, join us on https://www.cigre.org/GB/join/how-to-join.
