Lightning Location System and Lightning Detection Network of China Power Grid

TLDR: In the past 20 years, the most widely used lightning detection measurement in the field of lightning engineering technology has been developed in China as mentioned in this paper, and the detection area covered is great,and the detection data had accumulated for many years.

Abstract: In the past 20 years,lightning location system is the most widely used lightning detection measurement in the field of lightning engineering technology.In the lightning location technology research,lightning location system independent developing and the lightning detection network construction,it started early,and had good durative in China.Also the detection area covered is great,and the detection data had accumulated for many years.The power system in our country takes the lead in the lightning detection research,and constitutes the national lightning detection network covered mostly area.The development overview and the current situation of national lightning location system and detection network of power system is introduced in this paper.And the lightning detection technology,detection level,and the detection network are introduced in details.The lightning location system has played an important role in the power system,including the fast lightning failure location,lightning accident discrimination,lightning parameters statistics,lightning-withstanding level evaluation and the lightning warning technology.Also the development of the lightning location system and lightning detection network in future is proposed in this paper.
