Abstract

KEPCO has been operating a lightning detection network, KLDNet, to cope with lightning-induced faults. An weather observation for last 40 years shows that heavy rainy days per year and the strength of rain have almost doubled. It could be interpreted as more frequent occurrence of lightning events. In accordance with that, the lightning activities and the mischievous influences, such as transmission faults, have increased. In this paper, the observed data by the network in 2007 is analyzed and compared with ten-years-old-statistics accumulated by the former system, LPATS.
