User friendly Windows application, developed in MATLAB, for shielding design of high voltage substations against direct lightning strokes, on the basis of 3-dimensional analysis. With the aid of the software, an installed shielding system can be validated and/or a new system can be designed according to the relevant IEEE Std 998:1996. Actually, the software allows for a 3-dimensional display of the protection zone of the shielding system on the basis of the electrogeometric model of lightning attachment or the fixed angle method according to IEEE Std 998:1996. The application software is a useful tool for engineers working in the field of lightning protection, and can also be used for educational purposes in high voltage engineering courses. Download
