Abstract

An overhead ground wire is used for both communication and power transmission and is crucial for the long-term operation of power grids. The temperature variations in overhead ground wires under a lightning strike were analyzed using an optical frequency-domain reflectometer. During lightning, the relationship between the peak temperature and the time can be considered a double-exponential distribution. The temperature distribution over time for the overhead ground wire was considered a Gaussian distribution, where the R-squared coefficient was ∼0.95. Moreover, we used the −3 dB bandwidth of the temperature curve at each moment as the lightning temperature influence range for the overhead ground wire. The temperature influence was considered a quadratic function distribution, where the R-squared coefficient was ∼0.98. The characterization of the temperature variation of the lightning struck-overhead ground wire can provide a basis for distributed optical fiber measurement systems to accurately monitor the location and intensity of lightning strikes and can be potentially used to ensure the safety of transmission lines.
