Methodology for Lightning Performance Improvement.
Master's Thesis, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
A counterpoise ground model is added to EPRIs open source transient simulator. The approach to integrate this model is based on nodal analysis of the counterpoise conductor
and electrical transient computations. A new graphical user interface for OpenEtran is added and described in this thesis. The user-interface regroups a tab window replacing the previous Excel spreadsheet interface for OpenEtran, and adds a line visualization tool for more effcient line design in terms of shield wires, grounds, insulation and line arresters.
