Abstract
A novel high-efficient two-step finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed to analyze the lightning-induced voltages on transmission lines (TLs) in this paper. The proposed method includes two steps. The first step is to calculate, using the 2-D FDTD method, electromagnetic fields that are radiated from a vertical lightning channel and illuminate the nearby TLs. The second step is to calculate, using the 3-D FDTD method, the electromagnetic response of the TL that is illuminated by the incident electromagnetic fields added at the total field-scattered field connecting the boundary of the 3-D space. To validate the proposed two-step FDTD method, the results calculated using the two-step FDTD method are compared with those calculated with Agrawal coupling model, and with those calculated using the 3-D FDTD method. The two-step FDTD method shows high computational efficiency in analyzing lightning-induced voltages on TLs.
