Das zeigen nicht zuletzt aktuelle Statistiken der Schadensversicherer. Immer wieder gibt es Meldungen {\"u}ber extrem hohe Blitzstr{\"o}me, die nat{\"u}rlich auch zu großen Sch{\"a}den und Zerst{\"o}rungen f{\"u}hren k{\"o}nnen. Dabei werden Scheitelwerte von teilweise deutlich {\"u}ber 300 kA genannt. Dies wirft Fragen auf, da die „klassische" Blitzstatistik (z. B. nach CIGRE und IEC [8][10]) bisher solche Werte nicht kennt. Diese extremen Blitzstr{\"o}me werden meist aus den Daten von Blitzortungssystemen ermittelt.},

  abstract  = {Large power plants can be endangered by lightning strikes with possible consequences regarding their safety and availability. A special scenario is a lightning strike to the HV overhead transmission line close to the power plant's connection to the power grid. If then additionally a so-called shielding failure of the overhead ground wire on top of the overhead transmission line is assumed, i.e. the lightning strikes directly into a phase conductor, this is an extreme electromagnetic disturbance. The paper deals with the numerical simulation of such a lightning strike and the consequences on the components of the power plant's auxiliary power network connected to different voltage levels.},
