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.

The latest aerospace technology is important for the stable flight of a launch vehicle, but weather conditions on the day of launch are also one of the essential factors for successful launch campaign. If a launch vehicle is directly struck while preparing to take off from the launch pad on the day of launch or the electronic device are damaged by induced current during flight of the launch vehicle, this means launch failure and can lead to enormous national loss. Therefore, for a successful launch campaign, it is necessary to analyze the lightning detection characteristics of the Naro Space Center. In this study, the seasonal factors of the lightning that occurred over the Naro Space Center from 2003 to 2017, the influence of the polarity, and the correlation with the lightning intensity was confirmed. As a result, there was a high probability of intensive occurrence of multiple lightning strikes in summer, and a high proportion of positive (+) lightning strikes in winter. Lastly, in the distribution of the number of lightning strikes, an average of 2.0 to 2.5 negative (-) lightning strikes occurs in the coastal regions of the South and West Seas when one flash happens.

In this paper, the safety for passengers of composite car-body against lightning strikes was analyzed by the application of an impulse generator which can produce impulse current up to 50 kA with 8/$20{\mu}s$ waveform. Potential difference on inside surface of the car-body was measured as a safety parameter for the passengers against lightning strikes. The potential difference between 20 em distant was 175 V at 37.67 kA, and it corresponds to 875 V between 1 m distant. The amount of charge flowing a passenger at 100 kA impulse current can be estimated to $0.31\;mA{\cdot}s$. This is much less than the limit amount of charge for human body, $30\;mA{\cdot}s$ which is presented by Koeppen and Osypka.

Carbon-fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) laminates made of nano-particle-coated carbon fibers and damaged by a simulated lightning strike were tested under compression-after-impact(CAI) mode, during which the damage progress due to compressive loading has been monitored by acoustic emission(AE). The impact damage was induced not by mechanical loading but by a simulated lightning strike. Conductive nano-particles were coated directly on the fibers, from which CFRP coupons were made. The coupon were subjected to the strikes with a high voltage/current impulse of 10~40 kA within a few ${\mu}s$. The effects of nano-particle coating and the degree of damage induced by the simulated lightning strikes on AE activities were examined, and the relationship between the compressive residual strength and AE behavior has been evaluated in terms of AE event counts and the onset of AE activity with the compressive loading. The degree of impact damage was also measured in terms of damage area by using ultrasonic C-scan images. The assessment during the CAI tests of damaged CFRP showed that AE monitoring appeared to be useful to differentiate the degree of damage hence the mechanical integrity of composite structures damaged by lightning strikes.

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.

This paper gives a Wireless lightning detecting and warning system. This system composed of transmitter and receiver. It promptly senses lightning strikes on the power lines and transmission towers by using the lightning current detection circuit in a small transmitter situated on the top of power tower, and it sends the number of lightning strikes and the ID. of the tower to patrols through the receivers. This system will be used to discover the exact location of a lightning strike.

In this paper, the safety for passengers of composite car-body against lightning strikes was analyzed by the application of an impulse generator which can produce impulse current up to 50 [kA] with 8/20 [us] waveform. Potential difference on inside surface of the car-body was measured as a safety parameter for the passengers against lightning strikes. The potential difference between 20 [cm] distant was 175 [V] at 37.67 [kA], and it corresponded to 875 [V] between 1 [m] distant. The amount of charge flowing a passenger at 100 [kA] impulse current can be estimated to 0.31 [mA s]. This is much less than the limit amount of charge for human body, 30 [mA s] which is presented by Koeppen and Osypka.

Lightning is one of hazards affecting the rapid-transit railway system. There are two effects, which are direct lightning surge to electric car line and induced lightning surge. Protection methods for the direct lightning surge are studied with various occasions, however, study of induced lightning surge is insufficient in spite of a large or small effects. In this paper, it is analysed the way that serge voltage is induced to electric car line by lightning strikes. By modeling the propagation process and the coupling phenomenon of electromagnetic wave produced by lightning strikes, it is achieved to make integrative circuit model combined with existing electric car model. The study is conducted into three different waveform of electromagnetic wave produced by lightning; rectangular wave, double exponential distribution wave, triangle wave. It is also simulated that the inducing serge is coupled to electric car line in an arbitrary location. The simulation results in that, when rapidly changing rectangular wave is supplied, maximum power is induced to electric car line.

The latest offshore wind turbines are easily exposed to lightning strikes because they are designed with longer blades and taller height to satisfy the growing capacity demands. The generation facilities and elements of the offshore wind farm are more vulnerable to lightning damage because of more severe, unpredictable weather conditions. Therefore, this paper presents the analysis of measure for lightning overvoltage mitigation in offshore wind farm planned in South Korea southwest seashore. The sensitivity analysis includes the steady state and transient state characteristics of offshore wind farm and proposes the countermeasure for mitigation of transient overvoltage by considering earth resistivity of the offshore environment.

Light weight of vehicles by composite materials makes possible high speed, energy saving, and low repair cost. As Bimodal Tram and Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) use carbon composite material for their bodies, safety for passengers and electrical devices against unexpected failures has been issued more than ever. Lightning strike which generates high voltages and large currents is the worst case for the safety of passengers and devices. With this background, we experimentally investigated the insulation breakdown phenomena on carbon composite materials by the application of lightning surge voltage and current. From the experimental results, we could estimate whether the composite body is safe or not for the inside passengers and devices against lightning strikes.
