Analysis of lightning energy by simulation program and s-domain estimates of field distributions in case if lightning strikes a vertical conductor

Different methods were developed for centuries for using lightning energy that has been made many kind of researchs about and is the part of the nature system. Using the energy of lightning which is a very large amount of current wasn?t possible directly until now. But many different ideas carried out by different academics about using this current indirectly and many different experiments were made to measure the energy that occur after lightning. International Lightning Research Center was established at Florida (USA) and lightning was triggered by a metal wire and a rocket to estimate the energy due to electric field arround the stroke point.In this thesis the estimation that has been made formerly for lightning energy was summarized. Voltage, instantaneous power and energy of lightning on the load was analyzed by using lightning path impedance model on ATP program. Three different half-time were used. Then a voltage that induced by a rocket-triggered lightning was thought. An analysis was made on three diferent values for this induced voltage. The effects of the heights of conductives and distance between conductives on the coupling voltage were simulated on MATLAB program.
