    Conference report
    Open Access
    This work determines Elevated Structures (ES’s) correspondence with Recurrent Lightning Spots (RLS). The starting point is the location of 616 elevated structures in northeastern Colombia, for which two parameters were ...

  • Recurrent lightning spots with different lightning return period 

    Solà de las Fuentes, Glòria; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Montanya Puig, Joan; Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
    Conference report

    Recurrent lightning spots (RLS) is a recent concept that explores places that experience lightning year after year. This article presents an analysis of the RLS concerning the recurrence interval. We adapt the concept of ...

  • New era of lightning detection from space: application to electric power systems 

    Montañá Puig, Juan; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Van der Velde, Oscar Arnoud; Solà de las Fuentes, Glòria; Romero Durán, David; Morales Rodríguez, Carlos Augusto; Visacro, Silverio; Goodman, Steven J.; Williams, Earle Rolfe; Peterson, Michael J.; Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau; Sousa Arcanjo, Marcelo Augusto; Aranguren Fino, Harby Daniel (2021)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Information about lightning activity and its parameters is necessary to design and evaluate the lightning protection of an electrical power system. This information can be obtained from ground-based lightning detection ...

  • Winter lightning triggered by wind-turbines: the case of snowstorm Filomena 

    Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau; Fabró Tapia, Ferran; Montañá Puig, Juan; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Solà de las Fuentes, Glòria; Rodríguez Ballester, Oriol (2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Winter storm Filomena battered the Iberian Peninsula on the 9-10th January 2021, covering the eastern half of Spain with a huge amount of snow. Apart from the historical snowfall, lightning activity was observed during ...

  • Experimental study of the charge saturation levels of an aircraft with an active electrostatic charge control system 

    Fontanes Molina, Pol; Martell, Benjamin C.; Candela Rubio, Héctor; Guerra García, Carmen; Montañá Puig, Juan (2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Artificially charging an aircraft might reduce the risk of triggered-lightning. In this study, we explore the charging limits of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle charged using an artificial electrostatic charge control system ...

  • Small scale simulation of lightning using vertical wires deployed by drones: on the land and sea peak current asymetry 

    Montañá Puig, Juan; Fontanes Molina, Pol; Arcanjo, Marcelo; Urbani, Michele; Williams, Earle Rolfe; Romero Durán, David; Horta Bernús, Ricard; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Van der Velde, Oscar Arnoud; Pineda Rüegg, Nicolau (2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work we simulate lightning by means of vertical wires deployed by a multirotor drone under fair weather conditions. These wires, when isolated from ground, acquire an electric potential by virtue of electrostatic ...

  • Synchronization in real time of two Stewart platforms 

    Rossell Garriga, Josep Maria; Vicente Rodrigo, Jesús; Barcons Xixons, Víctor (Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, 2020)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This paper presents two mechanisms that have been designed, built and put into operation by our research team at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona (Spain) which have many practical applications in ...

  • Corona discharges from grounded rods under high ambient electric field and lightning activity 

    Sousa Arcanjo, Marcelo Augusto; Montanya Puig, Joan; Urbani, Michele; Fontanes Molina, Pol; Lorenzo, Victor; Pons Montserrat, Enric (2021)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We assess results of corona pulses detected under high background electric field in the laboratory and in the field in two different experimental sites. The first location is on the roof of a regular building, and the ...

  • Experiments with a tethered drone to investigate induced charges on a vertically arranged conductor during fair weather 

    Sousa Arcanjo, Marcelo Augusto; Fontanes Molina, Pol; Urbani, Michele; Montanya Puig, Joan (2021)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    To better understand the phenomena associated with electrostatic charges and potential distribution over vertical conductors, this work describes preliminary results obtained with a tethered drone that is used to lay ...

  • Comparación de la siniestralidad minera en España. Análisis de varios períodos 

    Freijo Álvarez, Modesto; Sanmiquel Pera, Lluís; Montañá Puig, Juan; Romero Durán, David; Bergas Jané, Joan Gabriel (2021)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el comportamiento de seguridad de los trabajadores de las minas en España y analizar los parámetros que inciden en la siniestralidad laboral. Se ha explorado la relación entre ...

  • Measurement of electric potential of isolated vertical conductive wires pulled by a drone under fair weather conditions 

    Montañá Puig, Juan; March Nomen, Víctor; Van der Velde, Oscar Arnoud; López Trujillo, Jesús Alberto; Romero Durán, David; Fontanes Molina, Pol; Urbani, Michele (2018)
    Conference lecture
