The lightning flashover rate (lightning performance of the line) is the sum of: direct strikes flashover rate; nearby strikes flashover rate (disregarded in view of TL CFO); flashover rate from failures of protective equipment. Only first strokes of negative downward flashes are generally taken into account in lightning performance studies. To predict the lightning performance one needs the knowledge of: the lightning activity (the ground flash density Ng (fl/km2/yr)); the exposure to lightning; lightning consequences. Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Exposure (i.e. lightning incidence) The models applied to calculate lightning incidence on transmission lines are based on consideration of the physical processes involved during the final stages of progression of a charged downward lightning leader (usually assumed negative) in its approach to the earth, or toward structures such as a line or transmission tower. These models, based on downward leader approach, could be divided into: conventional models electrogeometric model; more recent models leader progression model (LPM). Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Conventional electrogeometric model: basic concept Single conductor overhead line of a given height h: rc: striking distances to a phase conductor; direct stroke rg: striking distances to ground; dl: lateral attractive distance of the line rc Arc I b rg Arg I nearby stroke r g k rc b rc rc rg A b k Armstrong and Whitehead 6.7 0.8 0.9 IEEE WG 10 0.65 0.55 h dl rg d l r rg h 2 c 2 Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Advanced models: leader progression model Sequential solution of the Poisson’s equation: ( 0 V P) Electric potential iso‐surfaces associated to a downward leader corresponding to a peak current of 20 kA. Downward leader at 360 m from the ground. Inception conditions for the formation of the upward leader from the earthed structure have not yet been reached. Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Lightning leader approaching ground: downward motion unperturbed unless critical field conditions develop juncture with the nearby tower, called final jump. For each electric field streamline connecting the two leaders it has determined whether the electric field exceeds the value of 500 kV/m along the overall streamline length. Peak current of 20 kA located at 23 m from the 30 m high earthed structure: electric field iso‐surfaces and streamlines. Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Shielding failure: basic concept For a specific value of stroke current, arcs of radii rc are drawn from the phase conductors and from the shield wires with the horizontal line at a distance rg from the earth. A shielding failure is a stroke that terminates on a phase conductor, in spite of the presence of overhead ground wires. The flash collection rate is: Dc Dg N s 2 N g L [ Dg ( I ) Dc ( I )] f ( I )dI I min Integrating only the exposure area of the phase conductors, we obtain the shielding failure rate (SFR) rc I max SFR 2 N g L Dc f I dI rc I min Where: Imin is the minimum lightning current (2 or 3 kA); Imax is the maximum current at and above which no stroke will terminate on the phase conductor. rg Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Shielding failure flashover rate: SFFOR If the voltage E is set to the CFO, negative polarity, then the critical current Ic, at and above which flashover occurs. The initial condition of the HVDC could be taken into account into the estimation of Ic. Therefore SFFOR is: SFFOR 2N g L I max Ic Dc f I dI Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Shielding failure on HVDC: experimental observations Source: Hengxin He, Junjia He, Zhang, D., Li Ding, Zhenglong Jiang, Cheng Wang, Huisheng Ye, “Experimental Study on Lighting Shielding Performance of ±500 kV HVDC Transmission Lines”, 2009 Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC 2009).

Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Shielding failure on HVDC: experimental observations Remark: it seems that the applied DC voltage on the polar conductor, as well as its polarity, plays a role into the upward streamer inception criterion and, therefore, into the attachment process.

Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Back flashover: basic concepts When lightning strikes the tower (or the OHGWs), the current on the tower and ground impedances causes the rise of the tower voltage. A small fraction of the tower and shield wires voltage is induced in the phase conductors due to the electromagnetic coupling, nevertheless the tower and shield wires voltage becomes greater then phase conductors voltage. If the voltage exceeds the line CFO, flashover occurs called back flash or back flashover and the corresponding minimum lightning current that produces such a flashover is called critical current. The term “back” refers to the fact that the highest voltage is on a part of the power system normally at ground potential. Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Estimation of the backflash rate Use of the Electromagnetic Transient Program The calculation of the critical current Ic by means of EMTP‐like programs allows to take in account: waveshape of the current source; flashover criteria in the form of volt‐time characteristics; transmission line models including all line conductors (em‐coupling); representation of the soil ionization; frequency dependent grounding models; surge arresters; representation of all the power system components; For HVDC: For HVDC: conductors potential (pre‐lightning DC voltage status); conductors potential (pre‐lightning DC voltage status); frequency dependency of input impedance of HVDC power electronics. frequency dependency of input impedance of HVDC power electronics. Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Calculation of the backflashover rate (BFR) The BFR is the probability of exceeding the critical current multiplied by the number of flashes to the line NL. However, since the crest voltage and the CFO are both functions of the time‐to‐crest tf of the lightning current, the critical current previously determined is variable. Therefore, the BFR considering all the possible time‐to‐crest values is: BFR 0.6N L 0 Ic I fl f f t f dIdt f tf 100km yr Where f(I/tf) is the conditional probability density function of the stroke current given the time‐to‐crest and f(tf) is the probability function of the time‐to‐crest. Note: in order to obtain the BFR for strokes to the tower and stroke and to the spans, the BFR obtained for strokes to the tower is multiplied by a coefficient, equal to 0.6 [Hileman, 1999] Outline Introduction Lightning performance of distribution networks Lightning impact on HVDC overhead transmission lines Conclusions Conclusions Renewables integration is increasing the need of electrical network reliability revamping of the studies on insulation coordination of T&D systems.
