IEEE PES Lightning Performance of Overhead Lines Working Group: 15.09.08

Chair: Dr. Emanuel Petrache, Kinectrics, 800 Kipling Avenue, KL206, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA M8Z 6C4
Vice chair: Dr. Jens Schoene EnerNex, 620 Mabry Hood Rd., Suite 300, Knoxville, TN 37922

This Working Group provides a forum for the open presentation of new ideas that improves lightning performance for distribution and transmission overhead line installations. In addition, this group will maintain and upgrade any ANSI technical standard that is applicable for lightning protection, or application. The WG will coordinate various task force assignments that address current issues in the utility market. This group maintains a website that provides up to date information for the membership, outlines working group activities and provides general items of interest for the utility engineer.

If you would like to become a member of the working group, contact Emanuel Petrache (meeting attendance is not required).

Next meeting: 2016 IEEE PES Joint Technical Committee Meeting in New Orleans, January 8 - 12, 2017 (tentatively)

IEEE FLASH v. 2.0

Version 2.05 of IEEE Flash was released on 2010-10-16. This version has been rewritten in Excel VBA with a worksheet interface. New in Flash 2.05 is a worksheet labeled "CFO" that estimates the insulation strength of a distribution line with wood and fiberglass.
