DESCRIPTION:The growing use of sensitive electronic devices and the increas
 ing demand of utility customers for stability of the power supply in the r
 ecent years have emphasized the importance of improving the reliability an
 d power quality levels of electric systems. Although various phenomena and
  situations can cause disturbances on power transmission and distribution 
 networks\, lightning is usually responsible for a significant amount of un
 scheduled supply interruptions and permanent damages to equipment such as 
 distribution transformers\, as well as damages to or malfunction of sensit
 ive electronic equipment. It is therefore essential to evaluate the lightn
 ing electromagnetic environment in order to mitigate its effects and impro
 ve the power system quality. In this lecture\, the major mechanisms by whi
 ch lightning overvoltages can be produced on power transmission and distri
 bution (medium and low-voltage) systems are explained\, the general charac
 teristics of the overvoltages are evaluated and their dependence upon the 
 network configuration and some of the most important ground and stroke par
 ameters are discussed\, with examples of measured and calculated voltage w
 aveshapes.\n\nSpeaker(s): Alexandre  Piantini \, \n\nVirtual: https://even
