It is known that climate change is responsible for the accentuation of some meteorological phenomena such as electrical storms, torrential rains, droughts or hurricanes. Although the climate has gone crazy, some unusual and spectacular natural atmospheric phenomena like volcanic lightning were already taking place.
A revolutionary lightning protection system, with intelligent sensing and IoT technology, which provides unattended and on-line information on the status of the lightning conductor, the continuity of the down conductor, information on the lightning strikes received in the installation and the earthing resistance value.
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can occur with a high frequency at any time of the year and is subject to statistical uncertainty: it is not possible to determine where and when an isolated lightning strike will occur. Because of this, storm detection systems cannot precisely predict the location and timing of a particular discharge1, but they can determine the Discharge Risk Conditions based on the distance of previous lightning strikes (electromagnetic field detectors) or the variation of the atmospheric electrostatic field (electrostatic field sensors).
