Storm detection and lightning damage prevention: What Works?

SMART LIGHTNING, Storm Detection | 29/04/2021 |

The local detection of thunderstorms allows for the prevention of accidents derived from lightning strikes. Electrical storms can cause death and injury to people. The risk is increased for workers in open spaces. In addition to the loss of life and health, lightning strikes damage properties, infrastructures, industries, communication systems and cultural heritage. Lightning starts many wildfires, causes power line failures, and can also cause environmental disasters.

A thunderstorm is manifested by a sudden discharge of electricity, which we perceive by an intense and fleeting glow, commonly known as lightning or lightning strike, and by a powerful sound, thunder.

Differences between thunderstorm detectors (Lightning Warning System and Lightning Tracker)

Lightning bolts are powerful atmospheric electrical discharges that pose a great danger depending on where they strike. Without proper protection and prevention, these discharges are a risk to people, animals, buildings, and electrical / electronic equipment.

In order to prevent the effects of this natural phenomenon, the UNE-EN IEC 62793 standard establishes an application guide to determine the need or not for a thunderstorm detection system, as well as the types of detectors that exist for it.
