“…Probably, the cause of these discrepancies comes from the fact that the fixed parameter Lt, defaulted in SIRAC to 10 -2 , according to Table J.3 of the standard, is perhaps assuming a different value. Particularly, contribution [3] indicates, in its Table 1 Fixed parameters in the SIRAC software, a value of 10 -4 for the same fixed parameter. The use of this particular value for Lt would indeed lead to the same results given by the SIRAC software, and showed in Table II. Regarding differences detected among TUPÃ results and manual calculation performed using the data entered through the TUPÃ interface, here are some comments:…”

“…Among them, the RISK Multilingual software presented at the IX International Symposium on Lightning Protection in November 2007 in Brazil [2], is very complete. Besides, a new edition of this software, RISK Multilingual 3, was presented in the Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (APEMC), in Asia-Pacific 2010 [3]. Another software tool, still under analysis, called TUPÃ, was developed by the IEE-USP (Instituto de Electrotécnica e Energia de la Universidade de São Paulo) [4].…”

This paper analyses virtues and limitations of a new risk assessment software tool called TUPÃ developed by the IEE-USP (Institute of Electrotechnics and Energy -University of São Paulo) in Brazil, compared to the widely distributed Software Risk Assessment Calculator (SIRAC), developed by IEC. Besides, it checks its accordance with the risk evaluation methodology proposed by the IEC 62305-2 ed1.0 standard, through manual calculations applied to the selected example.An analysis of the data entry interface of the TUPÃ software tool, including accessibility, limitations and different alternatives for the parameter values is developed in comparison with the SIRAC tool.Aiming to compare the performance of both software, the document includes a risk assessment calculation against lightning for a building belonging to our University in La Plata, Argentina. In order to limit the extension of the paper, just some of the risk components are considered. Final results are compared, as well as partial results, when available.As simplified tools, the overall advantages and limitations of both software were fairly balanced. For instance, the SIRAC software allows for more than one service, while TUPÃ only considers one at a time. On the other hand, TUPÃ allows for the influence of an adjacent structure, which SIRAC ignores. Meanwhile, an interesting contribution of the TUPÃ software includes the possibility to introduce a manual calculation of the collection area in the case of more complicated structures.

“…The new trends in lightning protection standardization and an introduction to the use of a new software (RISK Multilingual 3) to simply apply the IEC 62305-2 standard on the risk assessment in lightning protection (Protection against lightning−Part 2: Risk management) in its next version is introduced (edition 2, 2010) [4]. Failure risk of insulation and arresters at each region/node of the network, can be evaluated simultaneously, if the inputs are known using adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS).…”

This paper studies the risk data and protection measurements of lightning based on the IEC62305 standard. In addition, Visual Basic (VB) is used to build a lightning risk calculation program with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The data structure, including environment data, line data, zone data, economic data, and protection measures is designed to simulate risk of loss of human life (R1) and risk of loss of economic value (R4). To achieve the most economical protection structure design, additional protection measurements and annual savings are considered. In the practical application, the main purpose is to discuss effective protection distances of surge protective devices (SPDs) for low-voltage power distribution. This paper takes advantage of Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) to simulate the voltage of equipment with different types of loads and length of the cable. After using the protection measures, the value of risk of human life reduces form 21.299 × 10 −5 to 0.439 × 10 −5 and the value of risk of economic value reduces from 2696.754 × 10 −5 to 98.062 × 10 −5 . The results mean that the protection measures let the values of the risk below the tolerance. By considering the annual cost saving. Assume the cost of protection measures, the interest rate, the depreciation rate, and the maintenance rate are 150,000 $, 4%, 5%, and 1%, respectively. The annual cost before using protective measures, the annual cost after using protective measures, the annual cost of protective measures, and the annual cost saving are $925,000, $33,635, $15,000 and $876,365, respectively. Consequently, it is feasible that the simulation result can provide users with great suggestions to choose the best installation location and achieve the most effective protection design.
