@inproceedings{KernKrichel2002, author = {Kern, Alexander and Krichel, Frank}, title = {Considerations about the lightning protection system of mains independent renewable energy hybrid-systems - practical experiences}, year = {2002}, abstract = {In the paper a lightning protection design concept for renewable energy hybrid-systems without power mains connection is described. Based on a risk analysis protection measures against direct strikes and overvoltages are shown in an overview. The design concept is realized exemplarily for the hybrid-system VATALI on the Greek island Crete. VATALI, not lightning protected at that time, was a victim of a lightning strike in the year 2000 causing destructions and damages of some mechanical and electrical components with costs of approx. 60.000 €. The hardware costs for the protection measures were about 15.000 €: about 50\% of the costs are due to protection measures against direct strikes, 50\% are due to overvoltage protection.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerKernetal.2002, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Kern, Alexander and Metwally, I.

These equations are based on computer simulations for shields consisting of a single-layer steel grid of a given mesh width. Real constructions, however, contain at least two layers of reinforcement steel grids. The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the additional shielding effectiveness of a second reinforcement layer compared to a single-layer grid. To this end, simulated structures were set up in the high current laboratory. The structures consisted of cubic cages of 2 m side length with one or with two reinforcement grids, respectively. The structures were exposed to direct lightning currents representing the variety of anticipated lightning current waveforms. The magnetic fields and their derivatives at several positions inside the structure as well as the voltage between "floor" and "roof" in the center were determined for different current injection points. From these data the improvement of the shielding caused by a second reinforcement layer is derived.}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningSchubertKloocketal.2002, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Schubert, J and Kloock, Joachim P. and Zander, W. and Mourzina, Y.
