Lightning risk assessment model for transmission lines with lift‐based improved analytic hierarchy process

Abstract

This paper proposes a new assessment method for lightning trip-out of transmission lines that includes an improved analytic hierarchy process (IAHP) algorithm based on a lift in association rules. First, the k-means clustering algorithm is used to discretize the geomorphic information along transmission lines, and ten feature factors are obtained. Next, by analysing the correlation between each feature factor and a lightning trip-out event using the lift algorithm, the strong correlation factors are extracted. On this basis, an IAHP algorithm optimized by lift is proposed to establish an objective judgment matrix. Then, multiple indexes are combined as a criterion layer of the IAHP, and a lightning risk assessment model of transmission lines is established. Finally, the proposed method is validated by simulations using 28 transmission lines with 220 kV voltage grade of a provincial power grid of China. An assessment model is established using the lightning trip-out data in the period 2010-2014, and then this model is employed to estimate the lightning trip-out risk in the period 2015-2018. Based on the number of phase faults, the agreement between the estimation results and the actual values is 76%. The proposed model provides a new method for the lightning risk assessment of transmission lines.

Construction and Application of Agricultural Talent Training Model Based on AHP-KNN Algorithm

“…The method uses clustering algorithm to obtain the characteristic factors and establish an objective evaluation matrix. The empirical analysis of the model shows that the consistency between the estimated results of the model and the actual values is 76%, which is very practical [6]. Yadav proposed a decision model based on hybrid hierarchical analysis for optimal selection of dental conforming materials, and the dental composites were selected with this model, and the results showed that the model selected dental composites with better performance than other models [7].…”

Development of GIS-based Ground Flash Density and its Statistical Analysis for Lightning Performance Evaluation of Transmission Lines in Peninsular Malaysia

“…With GIS, users can better understand patterns, relationships, and the context of geographic information, leading to better communication and enhanced efficiency, management, and decision-making. It is also observed that there is a growing trend in the use of GIS within the electrical sector (ESRI, 2010;Husain et al, 2012;Kakumoto et al, 2016;Kezunovic et al, 2015;Korir & Ngigi, 2015;Leite et al, 2019;Li et al, 2014;Lin & Xu, 2016;Rahman et al, 2020;Yatim et al, 2019;Yan et al, 2016;Zheng et al, 2021).…”

Refined risk assessment and differentiated protection of lightning damage in distribution network lines considering the underlying surface environment

“…Xue et al (2017) analyzed factors such as lightning properties and environmental impact on the location of conductors, and obtained the distribution pattern of lightning strikes in distribution networks, providing technical guidance for the application of overhead conductors. Zheng et al (2021) established an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) structural model for lightning protection measures of transmission lines based on the AHP, and analyzed the correlation between various characteristic factors of terrain and lightning tripping. Zou et al (2016), Zhao et al (2017) quantitatively analyzed the terrain characteristics of lightning strike areas by utilizing factors such as altitude, slope, slope aspect, land use type, water area, grassland, and forest land, and drew a distribution map of lightning strike induced disaster environment.…”
