Abstract:

By using the data of lightning failure and monitoring of the past years provided by Hubei Grid, this paper studies the characteristics of daily and monthly distributions of lightning activity, as well as the elevation distribution and spatiotemporal distribution.The results show that lightning in Hubei Province mainly occurs in July and August, and between 15:00 and 18:00 during the day.The active regions include the east parts of Huangshi and Xianning, central Wuhan, central and eastern Yichang, and southern and part of northern Xiangfan.The multi-source lightning data are fused with an algorithm based on Apriori association rules.The research shows that lightning shield of the power lines may fail when daily average relative humidity is higher than 80%, daily average air pressure is higher than 1×105Pa, or daily average water vapor pressure is between 3×103 Pa and 4×103 Pa.In these cases, therefore, measures should be taken to strengthen lightning prevention.Analyzing big data of lightning around power lines using the association rules can provide guidance to decision makers of power lines for disaster prevention.

Key words: power grid, association rule mining, temporal and spatial regularity, lightning
