Abstract
The analysis of the transient performances of grounding systems during a lightning discharge is proposed in the literature by modeling in time or in frequency domain. The frequency modeling makes it generaly possible to take into account the electromagnetic effects observed during the rise time of the pulse while temporal modelling makes it possible to introduce the nonlinear phenomenon (soil ionization) observed following an injection of a very high intensity lightning strike. In this work we propose a modeling with a simplified implementation which takes into account the various electromagnetic couplings which arise after spatial discretization of the grounding system as well as the ionization of the soil. This new formalism is developed from the equations of nonuniform Transmission Lines (nuTL) and the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. This simplified modeling is carried out solely by spatial discretization of the grounding system conductors, is done without loss of precision and with very low calculation times. Our calculation results are compared to those already published and carried out by simulation or by the measurements.
