Prediction of Lightning Impulses on Transmission Line Tower by Using Fuzzy Logic Controller

Abstract

lightning is a major cause of overhead line faults, 5% to 10% of the lightning-strokes causes faults, results in permanent damage to power system equipment. Lightning is a physical phenomenon, which is often seen as a source of destruction causing millions of dollars loss annually.Therefore, it is very advantageous to predict lightning occurrence to avoid the risk of damages to not only electrical and electronics equipment but also to the person. Due to prediction of lightning at least we know the probability of lightning in the form of low, medium and high range by using fuzzy logic system. This paper summarizes the fuzzy inference system (FIS) for the prediction of lightning.
