A New Tool for Calculation of Lightning-Induced Voltages in Power Systems—Part I: Development of Circuit Model

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new tool for lightning-induced voltage calculations. The tool, a circuit model which can be integrated into power systems simulators, is based on the theory developed by Andreotti (2001, 2009, 2013). In Part II, the accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the new tool are demonstrated via comparison with other solutions/codes found in the literature and with experimental data.
