This paper describes the lightning protection system for railway signaling equipments installed at subway car depots in Seoul metropolitan Rapid Transit Cooperation. Several measures for improving lightning protection performance are adopted; newly organized grounding system for neutral line of power system, rolling method to minimize damages induced by direct lightning strike, new measures to reduce voltage differences between the signaling equipments and the ground, and improvement of grounding system. The proposed system has greatly reduced the grounding resistance and also the voltage difference between the signaling equipments and the ground, and has prevented the accident related with lightning surges since it was installed. The proposed approach can be viewed as a useful alternative of dealing with lightning protection for railway signaling equipments.

Precision electronic equipments are composed of sophisticated microcircuits that are extremely vulnerable to lightning-caused voltage spike. This transient voltage spike may cause upset, latent failure or interference on electronic equipments. In order to develop efficient lightning protection measures on AC power lines for a road traffic controller, experimental surge immunity tests were conducted according to IEC standard 801-5. The combination of gas tube arrester and metal-oxide varistor was installed at the input of AC power lines and the silicon avalanche suppressor installed at the output of DC power supply as lightning protection measures.

Korean Industrial Standards for lightning protection system complies with IEC standards. However, the standards are applicable only to buildings and structures more than 20 meters in high. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether lightning protection system should be installed on structures lower than 20 meters high. This paper proposes an efficient method of assessing risk against lightning of structures lower than 20 meters high. The method suggests simplified lightning protection system and provides selecting an appropriate protection level. The suggested method assumes that structure under assessment has no lightning protection system and there is no person around the structure at the moment of lightning stroke. A simplified method of assessing the risk to human within the structure is developed by adopting the general assessment factor. The selection of a protection level is possible by comparing tolerable risk with physical damage risk caused by a direct lightning. Finally, this paper gives ways to establish surge protection measures when a structure with lightning risk is within a radius of 2km from the assessed structure even if this structure requires no lightning protection system.

This investigation presents reviews of many research results on lightning damage to wind turbines and lightning protection strategies from IEC Standard, Europe, USA, Japan and Korea. There have been few studies on lightning protection of wind turbines in Korea, while various investigations have been performed in the other countries. It is necessary to apply some good lightning protection strategies of IEC Standard and the other countries to Korea. Those are as follows: The guideline for lightning protection of wind turbines should be established based on IEC Standards. It needs to be carried out both development of software and experimental studies for understanding the types of lightning damage to wind turbines and compiling the database. In order to minimize the lightning damage to wind turbines, it is a key factor for wind farm owners and researchers to provide the information about the damage cases and wind farm operation technique.

This paper presents statistics on lightning-caused damage to humans, structures, and electrical and electronic equipment. To reduce the number and amount of casualties and damage caused by lightning strikes, the statistical analysis of lightning-related damage reports is important in establishing lightning protection measures. The statistics of lightning death, injury and damage in Korea from 2000 to 2007 were primarily derived from mass media As a result, the annual average of lightning-caused deaths in Korea is about 5. Most lightning casualties involve people who work outdoors such as farmers and recreationists. Data on lightning-caused injuries to humans and damage to structures in this paper may be underestimated since the available data from mass media are incomplete. The actual lightning-caused casualties and damage in Korea may be greater than those presented in this paper.

This paper verified the characteristics of electrical continuity and mechanical strength of steelwork required to use it as a down-conductor in lightning protection system. It was proven that the steelwork in reinforced concrete apartment has an excellent electrical continuity with low resistance(less than 0.2[${\Omega}$].). But it was confirmed that a poor connection between two reinforcement bars can easily cause serious damages of the concrete even with the impulsive current of 50[kA], 10/350[${\mu}s$]. These results of experiments mean that the additional measures are necessary in using the steelwork as the down-conductor of the lightning protection system.

With the abnormal weather phenomena caused by global warming, the frequency and intensity of lightning strikes are increasing, and lightning accidents are becoming one of the biggest causes of failures and accidents in offshore wind turbines. In order to secure generator operation reliability, effective and practical measures are needed to reduce lightning damage. Because offshore wind turbines are tall structures installed at sea, the possibility of direct lightning strikes is very high compared to other structures, and the role of surge protection devices to minimize damage to the electrical and electronic circuits inside the wind turbine is very important. In this study, a varistor, which is a key element for a class 1 surge protection device for direct lightning protection, was developed. The current density was improved by changing the varistor composition, and the distance between the electrode located on the varistor surface and the edge of the varistor was optimized through a simulation program to improve the fabrication process. Considering the combined effects of heat distribution, electric field distribution, and current density on the optimized varistor surface, silver electrodes were formed with a gap of 0.5 mm. The varistor developed in this study was confirmed to have an energy tolerance of 10/350 ㎲, 50kA, which is a representative direct lightning current waveform, and good protection characteristics with a limiting voltage of 2 kV or less.

특수구조물 중에서 특히 높은 독립적 구조물은 낙뢰에 의한 뇌격을 받을 가능성이 높다. 특수 구조물은 대체적으로 국가 산업시설물에 속하므로 낙뢰로 인한 피해는 사회적 경제적 손실이 막대하다. 이러한 낙뢰 피해 방지를 위해 낙뢰 보호시설을 설치하였으나 2015년도에 서해 대교의 지지케이블에 낙뢰로 인한 화재가 발생하여 많은 경제적 손실을 초래하였다. 이에 낙뢰 보호 시스템의 설계는 구조물에 낙뢰 위험을 분석 한 후 보호 조치를 수립해야한다. 뇌격에 대한 위험도 평가에 대한 국제적 규격은 국제전기기술위원회(IEC) 규격이 전 세계적인 규격의 근간을 이루고 있으며, 특히 해외 국가규격이나 기준은 IEC 기준으로 낙뢰 위험도 평가를 실시하여 낙뢰 보호대책시 적용하고 있다. 국내에서도 KS C IEC 62305 규격을 적용하여 위험성평가와 피뢰보강을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고, 낙뢰 보호 시스템을 설계한다. KSC IEC 측정방법으로 국내 특수교 리스크 평가에 대한 결과로는 물리적 손상 및 전자계시스템 위험 특수교는 평가대상 전체 교량 77개 교량 중 7개 교량에서 허용위험도가 높은 것으로 보고되었다. 본 논문에서는 높고 독립적 구조물의 위치에 따라 낙뢰 수에 대한 실제 정보 수집 시스템을 운영하는 모델링 시스템을 제안하기 위해 실제적인 낙뢰 정보를 분석하고 기상 관측소에서 제공 한 낙뢰수와 높은 구조물에 직접 도달하는 위험한 낙뢰 수를 비교하여 검증하는 방법을 검토하였으며, 지상에 직접적으로 도달한 낙뢰수에 따른 낙뢰위험도 산출시 확률적 보정률을 모니터링하여 적용함으로써 실효적인 낙뢰위험도 평가를 할 수 있도록 제안하고자 한다.
