Abstract :
This paper investigates the effect of grid cell size on ground flash density (GFD) of distribution powerlines. The study was based on the lightning data provided by local lightning detection systems and the analysis was conducted by overlaying ground flash map to the map of utility distribution network. The study result shows that GFD based on grid cell size with less magnitude has higher correlation with the outage events level of distribution powerlines.
