Lightning performance analysis of transmission lines using the Monte Carlo method and parallel computing

ABSTRACT An accurate calculation of lightning overvoltages is crucial for the design of overhead lines. Given the random nature of the lightning phenomenon, the procedure to be used must be statistical and generally based on the Monte Carlo method. Several simulation tools have been used to date for...
