Lightning Performance of Transmission Lines - Techno-Economic Optimization
This research effort aims to investigate the relationship between transmission system reliability associated to ligthning activity with the economics of mitigation measures such as insulation coordination and grounding reinforcement. Several methodologies to evaluate back-flashover outage rates are used: EPRI's two point method, IEEE Std. 1243-1997, CIGRE 63-1991 and EMT methods based on Montecarlo simulation (EMTP-ATP).
