It is gaining further relevance since climate warming is causing an increase in lightning strikes, and since the rising numbers of renewable power generators, the electricity grid, and charging infrastructure are susceptible to lightning damage. This is the second edition to this comprehensive work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth volumes have been thoroughly revised and updated for this second edition. \u003ci\u003eVolume 1\u003c\/i\u003e treats lightning return stroke modelling and lightning electromagnetic radiation, and \u003ci\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/i\u003e addresses electrical processes and effects. Chapter coverage includes various models and simulations of lightning strokes, measurements of lightning-generated EM fields, HF, VHF and microwave radiation, and lightning location systems; atmospheric discharge processes, lightning strikes to grounded structures and towers, EM field propagation, interaction with cables, effects on power transmission and distribution systems, effects in the ionosphere, mesosphere and magnetosphere, as well as NO\u003csub\u003e\u003ci\u003ex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e generation and climate effects. The volumes provide the rules and procedures to combine the readers' understanding with a model of every lightning-related electromagnetic process, and their effects and interactions. Readers obtain first-hand experience through simulations of the EM field of thunderclouds and lightning flashes and their effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese volumes are a valuable resource for researchers and engineers in the areas of electrical engineering and physics involved in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility, lightning protection, renewable energy systems, smart grids, and lightning physics, as well as for professionals from telecommunication companies and manufacturers of power equipment, and advanced students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Cooray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785615394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785615399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institution of Engineering \u0026amp; Technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Vernon Cooray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190998692095,"sku":"9781785615399","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84a6bb84-2aca-48b6-a8aa-291e0bcf4a50.jpg?v=1690873466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lightning-electromagnetics-vernon-cooray-9781785615399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
