Lightning is the main precursor of natural wildfires in the Continental United States (CONUS), while human-caused fires represent 80% of the total burned area [1]. Lightning dominated as the cause of ignition in Arizona, New Mexico, and Florida (the areas studied in this work) in spring an...
The main factors that affect structural faults for ORE devices are fatigue, extreme loads (e.g., wind gusts), lightning strikes and corrosion [59]. A thorough review of SHM techniques and sensors for structural components of offshore wind turbines can be found in [57,60–65], with details...

The distribution system may be affected by several kind of disturbances such as short-circuits, undervoltages or overvoltages, as well as lightning strikes. Therefore, protection devices activate the circuit breakers to isolate the faulty sections, keeping the rest of the system under normal ...
