Anotation:
The course aims are to provide knowledge on the effects of atmospheric electricity, to familiarize them with the phenomenology of lightning discharge, fundamentals of physics distribution of electric charge in the cloud and between cloud and ground for students of master degree program at CTU Prague. Based on the study of theoretical characteristics of storm activity (isokeraunic maps, number of storm days, numerical, mathematical and physical models) to create a suitable choice of external and internal protection against direct and indirect effects of atmospheric electricity and show the economic context of the design concept.
The course also covers the basic principles of risk assessment of damage caused by a lightning discharge by computational methods and their verification through IEC 62305 standards (students learn the principles of graphic and sequential detection of risk components). The theoretical training is also an economic analysis of loss events, predictive dialling protection, conclusive insurance schemes, etc.
