Abstract :
The probabilistic approach of the Monte Carlo method has been applied to the electro-geometric model used for the analysis of frequency of lightning strokes and shielding failures on overhead lines. This approach has enabled theoretical studies to be made of how these parameters are influenced by conductor sag, variations in terrain, and the presence of trees surrounding the line route.
