  • Publication number: 20250141218
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of lightning protection of power transmission lines, and in particular, relates to a method for limiting lightning overvoltage of a direct-current power transmission line. By means of using operation date of a line itself, lightning current monitoring data, and parameters of an environment where the line is located, a line dynamic operation function curve and a line lightning-protection performance function curve are both corrected to obtain a more realistic voltage difference, thus achieving reliable protection actions and state sensing of a lightning arrester on the line. An apparatus for limiting a lightning overvoltage of a direct-current power transmission line is further provided in the present invention to cooperate with the implementation of the method.
