Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent lightning protection planning, and in particular relates to a lightning interceptor layout method and system based on lightning strike simulation and a storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Important buildings such as machine rooms, communication hubs, data centers, etc., often carry key business operation and core data storage functions, and the intensive deployment of precision electronic equipment inside them is extremely sensitive to lightning interference. When lightning strikes such buildings or their surrounding areas, not only can it directly damage the building structure, cause fires or explosions, but the strong electromagnetic field generated during the discharge of lightning current through wall bodies, metal pipes, etc. transmission path, will also form electromagnetic pulse interference, penetrate the device shell and affect the normal work of the internal circuit, causing equipment failure, data loss or even permanent damage, seriously threatening business continuity and data security.
[0003] In the prior art, lightning protection of important buildings relies on the practical experience of workers to select lightning interceptors such as lightning rods installed in surrounding buildings. This layout method based on experience lacks precise consideration of objective factors such as building distribution and thunderstorm environment, making it difficult to accurately define the optimal installation position and protection range of the interceptors, and it is easy to form a protection blind area, resulting in some areas of important buildings being unable to be effectively protected. At the same time, experience-based judgment cannot reasonably avoid the problem of too concentrated or uneven distribution of interceptors, which may not only cause resource waste, but also may result in incomplete protection coverage, allowing lightning to still hit important buildings or their key areas, causing equipment damage, business interruption and other serious consequences, highlighting the inadequacy of existing protection schemes in design. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application proposes a lightning interceptor layout method and system based on lightning strike simulation, which can improve the pertinence and reliability of the protection scheme.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a lightning interceptor layout method based on lightning strike simulation, comprising:
[0006] Obtaining basic performance information of lightning interceptors, building parameters of a target building group and corresponding thunderstorm environment parameters; wherein the target building group includes ordinary buildings and important buildings;
[0007] According to the building parameters of the important buildings, the safety range of the important buildings is obtained;
[0008] According to the basic performance information and the building parameters of the ordinary buildings, the protection range of the corresponding ordinary buildings after installing the lightning interceptors is obtained;
[0009] Based on the thunderstorm environment parameters and the building parameters, each ordinary building is assigned a corresponding priority level;
[0010] Based on the safety range, the protection range, and the priority level, several ordinary buildings are selected as target installation buildings for installing the lightning interceptor, and the setting parameters of each lightning interceptor are determined so that the protection range of the target installation buildings completely covers the safety range.
[0011] The basic performance information, the setting parameters, the building parameters, and the thunderstorm environment are input into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to adjust the setting parameters of the lightning interceptor and obtain layout verification results.
[0012] In response to the layout verification result, layout planning information is generated and output based on the target installation building and the corresponding setting parameters.
[0013] The lightning interceptor layout method based on lightning strike simulation according to the first aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: First, the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor, the building parameters of the target building group, and the corresponding thunderstorm environment parameters are obtained. Then, the safety range of the important buildings is determined according to their building parameters. Combining the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor and the building parameters of ordinary buildings, the protection range of ordinary buildings after installing lightning interceptors is obtained. At the same time, each ordinary building is assigned a priority level. Then, the target installation building is selected and the corresponding setting parameters are determined. Finally, the relevant data is input into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to adjust the parameters and obtain the layout verification results, generating and outputting layout planning information. This data processing-driven process avoids the subjectivity and limitations of human experience-based layout. Through precise analysis and simulation verification of various parameters, it ensures that the protection range of the target installation building completely covers the safety range of the important buildings, effectively solving the problem that some areas of important buildings cannot be protected in the background art, achieving more comprehensive and reasonable lightning protection, and improving the pertinence and reliability of the protection scheme.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, assigning a corresponding priority level to each of the ordinary buildings based on the thunderstorm environmental parameters and the building parameters includes:
[0015] Based on the building parameters, determine the distance information between the ordinary buildings and the important buildings, the height information of the ordinary buildings, and the grounding condition information;
[0016] Based on the thunderstorm environmental parameters and the building parameters, determine the directional deviation information between the ordinary building and the historical dominant thunderstorm direction;
[0017] Based on the distance information, the height information, the grounding condition information, and the direction deviation information, the first score, the second score, the third score, and the fourth score are obtained respectively.
[0018] Based on a preset priority weight set, the first score, the second score, the third score, and the fourth score are weighted and summed to obtain the priority score.
[0019] Based on the priority score, each of the ordinary buildings is assigned a corresponding priority level.
[0020] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the step of selecting a plurality of ordinary buildings as target installation buildings for installing the lightning interceptor based on the safety range, the protection range, and the priority level includes:
[0021] Based on the priority level, select the ordinary building with the highest priority level as the target installation building, and use the protection range of the ordinary building as the target protection range;
[0022] According to the priority level, the next ordinary building whose protection range overlaps with the protection range of any target installation building by less than or equal to a first threshold is continuously selected as the target installation building, and the target protection range is updated until the target protection range completely covers the safety range.
[0023] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the lightning interceptor includes a first conductive post, a second conductive post, a central discharge needle, an equalizing ring, and a first insulating platform. The bottom end of the first conductive post is grounded, the top end of the second conductive post is connected to the central discharge needle, a gap exists between the first conductive post and the second conductive post, the first insulating platform is disposed outside the central discharge needle, and the equalizing ring is fixedly connected to the first insulating platform by a plurality of first insulating rods; the priority level includes first priority, second priority, and third priority, and the setting parameters include the voltage parameter of the equalizing ring and the gap parameter between the first conductive post and the second conductive post;
[0024] The determination of the setting parameters for each of the lightning interceptors includes:
[0025] When the priority level of the target installation building is level one, the voltage parameter is set to a first voltage range and the gap parameter is set to a first gap range;
[0026] When the priority level of the target installation building is level two, the voltage parameter is set to a second voltage range and the gap parameter is set to a second gap range; wherein, the second voltage range is less than the first voltage range and the second gap range is greater than the first gap range;
[0027] When the priority level of the target installation building is level three, the voltage parameter is set to a third voltage range and the gap parameter is set to a third gap range; wherein, the third voltage range is less than the second voltage range and the third gap range is greater than the second gap range.
[0028] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, determining the setting parameters of each of the lightning interceptors further includes:
[0029] Based on the aforementioned thunderstorm environmental parameters, the dominant direction and average intensity of historical thunderstorms were obtained.
[0030] If the difference between the current thunderstorm intensity and the average thunderstorm intensity is greater than a preset intensity threshold, the voltage parameter will be increased and the gap parameter will be decreased.
[0031] If the current dominant direction of a thunderstorm deviates from the historical dominant direction of a thunderstorm, the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in the current dominant direction of the thunderstorm will be increased and the gap parameter will be decreased, and the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in a direction other than the current dominant direction of the thunderstorm will be decreased and the gap parameter will be increased.
[0032] If there are two or more dominant directions of the current thunderstorm, the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in the dominant direction of the current thunderstorm will be increased and the gap parameter will be decreased. The lightning interceptors in directions other than the dominant direction of the current thunderstorm will not be adjusted.
[0033] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the step of inputting the basic performance information, the setting parameters, the building parameters, and the thunderstorm environment into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to adjust the setting parameters of the lightning interceptor includes:
[0034] The basic performance information, the setting parameters, the building parameters, and the thunderstorm environment are input into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model for lightning strike simulation testing.
[0035] The interception success rate of the lightning interceptors installed on each of the target buildings is statistically analyzed, as well as the probability of lightning strikes from each direction of the important buildings;
[0036] When the lightning interceptor's interception success rate is lower than the interception success threshold, the voltage parameter and gap parameter of the corresponding setting parameters in the lightning interceptor will be increased and decreased.
[0037] When the probability of a lightning strike in a certain direction is greater than zero, according to the priority level, a common building that is closest to the corresponding direction is selected from the target building group that is not the target installation building, and the common building is added to the target installation building and the setting parameters of the corresponding lightning interceptor are determined.
[0038] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the building parameters include the building height information of the ordinary building and the land area information of the important building, and the basic performance information includes the interceptor height information and the interceptor maximum voltage information;
[0039] The step of determining the safety range of the important building based on its architectural parameters includes:
[0040] Based on the land area information, determine the center point of the important building and the edge distance between the center point and the edge;
[0041] The safety range of the important building is obtained based on the distance between the center point and the edge.
[0042] The step of obtaining the protection range of a corresponding ordinary building after installing the lightning interceptor based on the basic performance information and the building parameters of the ordinary building includes:
[0043] Based on the building height information, the interceptor height information, and the interceptor maximum voltage information, the protection range of the corresponding ordinary building after the lightning interceptor is installed is calculated.
[0044] According to some embodiments of the first aspect of this application, after the step of selecting a plurality of ordinary buildings as target installation buildings for installing the lightning interceptor based on the safety range, the protection range, and the priority level, and determining the setting parameters of each lightning interceptor, the method further includes:
[0045] After traversing all the ordinary buildings, the protection range of the target installation building still does not completely cover the safety range, so the missing range of the safety range that is not covered by the protection range is obtained;
[0046] Identify the ordinary building whose protection range is closest to the omission range, and calculate the expected range that the ordinary building needs to cover the omission range;
[0047] Based on the initial protection range, the desired range, and the building parameters of the ordinary building, a height adjustment scheme is generated and output.

[0054] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0061] In the description of this application, the use of "first" and "second" is for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the order of the technical features indicated.

[0063] Critical buildings such as computer rooms, communication hubs, and data centers often host critical business operations and core data storage functions. The densely deployed sophisticated electronic equipment inside these buildings is extremely sensitive to lightning interference. When lightning strikes such buildings or their surrounding areas, it can not only directly damage the building structure and cause fires or explosions, but the strong electromagnetic field generated as the lightning current is discharged through walls, metal pipes, and other conduction paths can also form electromagnetic pulse interference. This interference can penetrate the equipment casing, affecting the normal operation of internal circuits, leading to equipment failure, data loss, or even permanent damage, seriously threatening business continuity and data security.
[0064] In current technologies, lightning protection for important buildings largely relies on the practical experience of staff, choosing to install lightning rods or other lightning interceptors on surrounding buildings. This experience-based approach lacks precise consideration of objective factors such as building distribution and thunderstorm conditions, making it difficult to accurately determine the optimal installation location and protection range of the interceptors. This easily creates protection blind spots, leaving parts of important buildings unprotected. Furthermore, experience-based judgment cannot reasonably avoid the problem of overly concentrated or unevenly distributed interceptor installations, potentially leading to wasted resources and incomplete protection coverage, allowing lightning to still strike important buildings or critical areas, causing serious consequences such as equipment damage and service interruptions. This highlights the inadequacies in the design of existing protection solutions.
[0065] Based on this, this application provides a lightning interceptor layout method, system and storage medium based on lightning strike simulation to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solutions provided by this application will be described in detail below.
[0066] In this application, regarding the layout of a lightning interceptor, the following is a structural description of the lightning interceptor provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a lightning interceptor provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the interior of the insulating cavity 40 of a lightning interceptor. The lightning interceptor includes the insulating cavity 40, a central discharge needle 10, a first insulating platform 21, and an equalizing ring 30.
[0067] An insulating cavity 40 is mounted on the upper side of a base 41. Inside the insulating cavity 40, a first conductive post 51 and a second conductive post 52 forming a discharge gap are arranged. The bottom end of the first conductive post 51 is mounted on the base 41 and grounded. A central discharge needle 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the insulating cavity 40. The top end of the second conductive post 52 is movably connected to the bottom of the central discharge needle 10. A first insulating platform 21 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the central discharge needle 10 and located above the insulating cavity 40. A control chip is embedded in the first insulating platform 21. A drive motor 12 is arranged on the upper surface of the first insulating platform 21. The drive motor 12 is used to drive the second conductive post 52 to move closer to or away from the first conductive post 51. The control chip is communicatively connected to the drive motor 12, the high-voltage power supply, and the electric field meter. An equalizing ring 30 is fixedly connected to the first insulating platform 21 through multiple first insulating rods 31. The central discharge needle 10 is located inside the equalizing ring 30. A power transmission line is embedded in the first insulating rod 31. The high-voltage power supply is electrically connected to the equalizing ring 30 through the power transmission line. The height of the first conductive post 51 can be adjusted by controlling the drive motor 12 through the control chip, and the high voltage power supply can be controlled to precharge the equalizing ring 30.
[0068] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the main body of the lightning interceptor, from bottom to top, includes a base 41, an insulating cavity 40, and a central discharge needle 10. The insulating cavity 40 is installed on the upper side of the base 41 and is filled with inert gas. The first conductive post 51 is vertically inserted into the base 41. Since the base 41 is grounded, the first conductive post 51 is also grounded, allowing the voltage after breakdown to be transmitted to the ground, thereby triggering the field-change effect. The second conductive post 52 is installed in the opposite direction to the first conductive post 51, located above the first conductive post 51, so that a discharge gap is formed between the first conductive post 51 and the second conductive post 52.
[0069] It should be noted that the central discharge needle 10 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the insulating cavity 40. An opening is provided on the upper side of the insulating cavity 40 so that the central discharge needle 10 can be partially inserted into the insulating cavity 40, facilitating the connection between the central discharge needle 10 and the second conductive post 52. Meanwhile, referring to… Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an opening and a cavity of sufficient length can be provided on the bottom side of the central discharge needle 10, so that the second conductive post 52 can be embedded in the central discharge needle 10. While ensuring electrical connection, the second conductive post 52 can move up and down. When the second conductive post 52 moves upward, it moves away from the first conductive post 51, thereby increasing the discharge gap. When the second conductive post 52 moves downward, it moves closer to the first conductive post 51, thereby reducing the discharge gap.
[0070] It should be noted that, as Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a first insulating platform 21 is provided on the outside of the central discharge needle 10. The first insulating platform 21 is located on the upper side of the insulating cavity 40. In this embodiment, the first insulating platform 21, made of insulating material, serves as the mounting carrier for the control chip and the drive motor 12. The use of insulating material prevents lightning from damaging the control chip and the drive motor 12. The control chip is installed on the inner side of the first insulating platform 21. For example, a cavity is provided inside the first insulating platform 21 to house the circuit board carrying the control chip. The drive motor 12 is provided on the upper side of the first insulating platform 21. To further improve the insulation effect, an insulating partition 13 is provided on the upper side of the first insulating platform 21, and the drive motor 12 is provided on the upper side of the insulating partition 13. The drive motor 12 is connected to the second conductive post 52, thereby providing driving force for the movement of the second conductive post 52. The drive motor 12 is also communicatively connected to the control chip, enabling the control chip to send signals to the drive motor 12 to precisely control the movement distance of the second conductive post 52. The drive motor 12 can be of any type, and no limitation is made here.
[0071] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the equalizing ring 30 is connected to the first insulating platform 21 via multiple first insulating rods 31. The first insulating rods 31 provide the foundation for the equalizing ring 30. These rods are made of insulating material and have embedded power transmission lines, allowing the equalizing ring 30 to receive voltage from the high-voltage power supply for pre-charging. This also prevents lightning strikes from entering through the first insulating rods 31 and damaging the high-voltage power supply. The equalizing ring 30 is made of metal such as copper or aluminum, with a diameter of 0.5-2 meters. The first insulating rods 31 are made of suitable insulating materials, such as ceramic or epoxy resin to ensure support strength. The insulation level is at least three times the working voltage, and the creepage distance is greater than 25 mm / kV.
[0072] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a deep learning model is embedded in the control chip. The electric field meter continuously sends the detected electric field value to the control chip. The rapid change in the electric field value before a lightning strike triggers the deep learning model's recognition operation. When the current gap between the first conductive post 51 and the second conductive post 52 is the first gap value, and the current charging voltage of the equalizing ring 30 is the first voltage value, the deep learning model quickly predicts the second gap value and the second voltage value. The first conductive post 51 is fixedly installed on the base 41. The control chip moves the second conductive post 52 by controlling the drive motor 12, so that the second conductive post 52 and the first conductive post 52... The gap between the pillars 51 is adjusted from the first gap value to the second gap value. By adjusting the discharge gap, the breakdown timing can be precisely controlled. Increasing the discharge gap can delay the breakdown time, while decreasing it can advance the breakdown time. In addition, the control chip adjusts the voltage by sending a control signal to the high-voltage power supply, so that the pre-charge voltage of the equalizing ring 30 is the second voltage value. By adjusting the pre-charge voltage of the equalizing ring 30, the electric field of the equalizing ring 30 is changed, thereby changing the development speed of the upward leader after the breakdown gap. For example, increasing the pre-charge voltage increases the development speed of the upward leader, while decreasing the pre-charge voltage slows down the development speed of the upward leader.
[0073] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the breakdown timing can be precisely controlled by intelligently identifying and dynamically adjusting the discharge gap before different lightning strikes occur. The development speed of the upward leader can be precisely controlled by adjusting the pre-charging voltage of the equalizing ring 30. This allows the lightning interceptor to trigger the field change effect at a more precise breakdown moment, and the upward leader to reach the spherical electrode 11 of the central discharge needle 10 at a more precise development speed to intercept the downward lightning leader, thereby improving the lightning interception effect.
[0074] Additionally, in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 Lightning interceptors also include:
[0075] The second insulating platform 22 is fixedly installed on the outside of the central discharge needle 10, and the second insulating platform 22 is located above the first insulating platform 21.
[0076] The equalizing ring 30 includes multiple ring segments connected end to end in sequence. Each ring segment is connected to the first insulating platform 21 by a first insulating rod 31, and each ring segment is connected to the second insulating platform 22 by a second insulating rod 32.
[0077] It should be noted that, as Figure 1As shown, the second insulating platform 22 is located above the first insulating platform 21 and below the spherical electrode 11 of the lightning interceptor. The second insulating platform 22 is provided with multiple second insulating rods 32 connected to the equalizing ring 30, so that the equalizing ring 30 can be supported by two different angles provided by the first insulating rod 31 and the second insulating rod 32, thereby improving the connection stability of the equalizing ring 30.
[0078] It should be noted that the equalizing ring 30 in this embodiment includes multiple ring segments connected end to end in sequence, such as... Figure 1 As shown, each ring segment is 1 / 4 of a circle, and each ring segment is connected to a first insulating rod 31, so that the voltage output by the high voltage power supply can be input to each ring segment through multiple transmission lines, ensuring the voltage consistency of each ring segment and improving the pre-charging effect of the equalizing ring 30.
[0079] Additionally, in one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The central discharge needle 10 has a transmission opening on the side near the first insulating platform 21. The upper side of the second conductive post 52 has multiple transmission teeth. The drive motor 12 is connected to the second conductive post 52 through an insulating transmission structure 14. The insulating transmission structure 14 includes an insulating transmission rod and an insulating gear. The insulating gear meshes with the transmission teeth through the transmission opening.
[0080] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a transmission opening is provided on the side of the central discharge needle 10 near the first insulating platform 21, and multiple transmission teeth are provided on the upper side of the transmission second conductive post 52. An insulating transmission structure 14 is formed by an insulating gear and an insulating transmission rod, so that the insulating gear and the transmission teeth can mesh. When the drive motor 12 rotates the insulating transmission rod, the second conductive post 52 moves up and down by driving the transmission teeth through the insulating gear.
[0081] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a transmission opening is provided on the side of the central discharge needle 10 near the first insulating platform 21, and multiple transmission teeth are provided on the upper side of the transmission second conductive post 52. An insulating transmission structure 14 is formed by an insulating gear and an insulating transmission rod, so that the insulating gear and the transmission teeth can mesh. When the drive motor 12 rotates the insulating transmission rod, the second conductive post 52 moves up and down by driving the transmission teeth through the insulating gear.
[0082] Firstly, based on this lightning interceptor, referring to Figure 1 This application provides a lightning interceptor deployment method based on lightning strike simulation, which includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0083] Step S110: Obtain the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor, the building parameters of the target building group, and the corresponding thunderstorm environment parameters; wherein, the target building group includes ordinary buildings and important buildings.
[0084] Step S120: Obtain the safety range of the important building based on its architectural parameters.
[0085] Step S130: Based on the basic performance information and the building parameters of ordinary buildings, obtain the protection range of the corresponding ordinary building after the installation of the lightning interceptor.
[0086] Step S140: Assign a corresponding priority level to each ordinary building based on thunderstorm environmental parameters and building parameters.
[0087] Step S150: Based on the safety range, protection range, and priority level, select several ordinary buildings as target installation buildings for lightning interceptors and determine the setting parameters of each lightning interceptor so that the protection range of the target installation buildings completely covers the safety range.
[0088] Step S160: Input the basic performance information, setting parameters, building parameters and thunderstorm environment into the pre-trained lightning strike simulation model, adjust the setting parameters of the lightning interceptor and obtain the layout verification results.
[0089] Step S170: In response to the layout verification results, generate and output layout planning information based on the target installation building and the corresponding setting parameters.
[0090] In steps S110 to S170, the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor, the building parameters of the target building group, and the corresponding thunderstorm environment parameters are first obtained. Then, the safety range of the important buildings is determined based on their building parameters. Combining the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor and the building parameters of ordinary buildings, the protection range of ordinary buildings after installing lightning interceptors is obtained. At the same time, each ordinary building is assigned a priority level, and then the target installation building is selected and the corresponding setting parameters are determined. Finally, the relevant data is input into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to adjust the parameters and obtain the layout verification results, generating and outputting layout planning information. This data-driven process avoids the subjectivity and limitations of human experience in layout. Through precise analysis and simulation verification of various parameters, it ensures that the protection range of the target installation building completely covers the safety range of the important buildings, effectively solving the problem in the background technology that some areas of important buildings cannot be protected, achieving more comprehensive and reasonable lightning protection, and improving the pertinence and reliability of the protection scheme.
[0091] It should be noted that ordinary buildings refer to buildings with conventional functions that do not carry core or critical business operations. They are less sensitive to lightning interference and have a relatively low priority for lightning protection. Their main function is to meet basic needs such as daily living and general office work. Even if indirectly affected by lightning, they will not cause significant data loss, business interruption, or public safety risks. For example, residential buildings (used only for residential purposes, without sophisticated electronic equipment or core business operations) and ordinary commercial office buildings (primarily for routine office work and small-scale commercial activities, without high-value data storage or critical business operation needs) are considered ordinary buildings. Important buildings, on the other hand, refer to buildings that carry core or critical business operations, store core data, or involve public safety. They have densely deployed sophisticated electronic equipment and are extremely sensitive to lightning interference. A lightning strike or its surrounding area could lead to significant economic losses, business paralysis, or public safety incidents. For example, data centers (store large amounts of core data, run critical information systems, and their sophisticated equipment is extremely sensitive to lightning electromagnetic pulses) and hospital outpatient and inpatient buildings (equipped with various sophisticated medical instruments, related to patient safety, requiring continuous and stable operation, and unable to withstand lightning interference) are considered important buildings.
[0092] It is understood that step S140 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0093] Step S210: Based on the building parameters, determine the distance information between ordinary buildings and important buildings, the height information of ordinary buildings, and the grounding condition information.
[0094] Step S220: Based on thunderstorm environmental parameters and building parameters, determine the directional deviation information between ordinary buildings and the dominant direction of historical thunderstorms.
[0095] Step S230: Based on the distance information, altitude information, grounding condition information, and direction deviation information, obtain the first, second, third, and fourth sub-values respectively.
[0096] Step S240: Based on the preset priority weight set, the first score, the second score, the third score and the fourth score are weighted and summed to obtain the priority score.
[0097] Step S250: Assign a corresponding priority level to each ordinary building based on the priority score.
[0098] In steps S210 to S250, the first score represents the distance between ordinary buildings and important buildings. The closer the building, the more direct the protection of the important building after installing the lightning interceptor. This dimension can prioritize candidate buildings that can quickly cover the safety range of important buildings. The second score represents the height of ordinary buildings. Building height affects the protective coverage of the lightning interceptor. Including this dimension ensures that the selected building can maximize the protective effectiveness of the interceptor. The third score represents the quality of the grounding conditions of ordinary buildings. Good grounding ensures effective discharge of lightning current and avoids secondary disasters. This dimension ensures that the selected building has the basic conditions for reliable protection. The fourth score represents the degree of deviation of ordinary buildings from the historical dominant direction of thunderstorms. The smaller the deviation, the higher the probability of lightning interception. Including this dimension can specifically address the protection needs of directions with high lightning incidence.
[0099] By quantifying the installation priority of lightning interceptors in ordinary buildings using multi-dimensional objective parameters, the bias of subjective experience judgment is avoided, making the selection of target installation buildings more scientific and targeted. This provides an accurate basis for ensuring that the subsequent protection range fully covers the safety range of important buildings, further improving the rationality and reliability of the lightning protection scheme.
[0100] It is understood that step S150 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0101] Step S310: Based on the priority level, select the ordinary building with the highest priority level as the target installation building, and use the protection range of the ordinary building as the target protection range.
[0102] Step S320: According to the priority level, continuously select ordinary buildings whose protection range overlaps with the protection range of any target installation building by less than or equal to the first threshold as target installation buildings, and update the target protection range until the target protection range completely covers the safety range.
[0103] In steps S310 to S320, target installation buildings are selected according to priority levels. This allows for the priority deployment of lightning interceptors in ordinary buildings with stronger protection targeting and effectiveness, ensuring that protection resources are tilted towards core needs. At the same time, by limiting the overlap rate between the protection range and the protection range of any target installation building to less than or equal to a first threshold, the waste of resources caused by excessive overlap of protection ranges can be avoided. Furthermore, by continuously updating the target protection range and gradually expanding the coverage area, complete coverage of the safety range of important buildings can be achieved efficiently with the fewest number of target installation buildings, taking into account both the comprehensiveness of protection and the economy of resource utilization.
[0104] Assume that in the target building complex, the safety range of the important building is a rectangular area extending 30 meters outward from its main outline, and there are four ordinary buildings, A, B, C and D, distributed around it. The priority levels are A, B, C and D from high to low, and the first threshold is set to 25%. First, based on priority, Building A is selected as the first target building for installation. The protection range of Building A is the area extending 40 meters outward from its own edge. At this point, the target protection range is the protection range of Building A, which covers 40% of the safety range of the important building. Next, Building B is selected according to priority. It is determined that the overlap rate between the protection range of Building B and the protection range of Building A is 20% (less than the first threshold of 25%). Building B is then designated as the second target building for installation. The updated target protection range is the overlapping area of the protection ranges of Building A and Building B. At this point, the overlapping area covers 75% of the safety range of the important building. Then, Building C is selected according to priority. The overlap rates between the protection range of Building C and the protection ranges of Building A and Building B are 18% and 22% respectively (both meet the requirement of being less than or equal to the first threshold). Building C is then designated as the third target building for installation. The updated target protection range is the overlapping area of the protection ranges of Buildings A, B, and C. This area completely covers the safety range of the important building. The selection process for the target building for installation is now complete.
[0105] It is understood that determining the setting parameters for each lightning interceptor in step S150 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0106] Step S410: When the priority level of the target installation building is level one, set the voltage parameter to the first voltage range and the gap parameter to the first gap range.
[0107] Step S420: When the priority level of the target installation building is level two, set the voltage parameter to the second voltage range and the gap parameter to the second gap range; wherein, the second voltage range is less than the first voltage range and the second gap range is greater than the first gap range.
[0108] Step S430: When the priority level of the target installation building is level three, set the voltage parameter to the third voltage range and the gap parameter to the third gap range; wherein, the third voltage range is less than the second voltage range and the third gap range is greater than the second gap range.
[0109] The core function of the equalizing ring is to create a stable high potential through pre-charging, constructing a strong radial electric field between it and the grounded central discharge needle. This provides a crucial electric field foundation for triggering the field transformation effect and generating the upward leader arc. After pre-charging, the equalizing ring strengthens the electric field around the central discharge needle, lowers the breakdown threshold of the discharge gap, and allows the upward leader to quickly start and develop directionally before lightning strikes, ensuring it accurately connects with the downward lightning leader and diverts the lightning current to the ground for effective interception. The charging parameters (pre-charging voltage) directly affect the development efficiency of the upward leader and the lightning interception response speed. Higher charging parameters result in a stronger electric field between the equalizing ring and the central discharge needle, significantly increasing the development speed of the upward leader and enabling it to reach the high altitude and connect with the downward leader more quickly. This is particularly suitable for scenarios with drastic changes in the lightning electric field and rapid movement of the downward leader, greatly improving the lightning interception success rate. However, excessively high charging parameters may lead to premature breakdown of the discharge gap, increase equipment energy consumption and insulation load, or even cause local electric field distortion. When the charging parameters are low, the electric field strength is insufficient, the upward leader develops slowly, and the interception opportunity may be missed because it cannot meet the downward leader in time, resulting in a significant reduction in the lightning interception effect. However, low voltage can reduce the operating pressure of the equipment, reduce the risk of accidental breakdown, and is more suitable for scenarios with weaker thunderstorm intensity and gentler electric field changes.
[0110] The size of the gap parameter (the discharge gap between the first and second conductive posts) determines the breakdown timing of the discharge gap, thus affecting the accuracy of lightning interception. A small gap parameter makes the discharge gap more easily broken down by charge, resulting in a short breakdown response time. This allows for earlier triggering of the field transformation effect and the upward leader, making it suitable for scenarios where the thunderstorm electric field rapidly intensifies and an emergency response is required. It can prevent lightning interception failure due to breakdown delays. However, a gap that is too small may cause false breakdowns under non-target electric field strengths or generate excessive arcing when strong lightning currents pass through, affecting equipment stability. A large gap parameter requires a higher electric field strength for breakdown, delaying the breakdown time. This is suitable for scenarios where the thunderstorm electric field accumulates slowly and precise control of the interception timing is required. However, an excessively large gap may lead to untimely breakdown, delayed upward leader activation, and inability to effectively connect with the downward leader, directly reducing the lightning interception effect and even allowing the lightning current to strike the protected target.
[0111] In steps S410 to S430, the protection capability of the lightning interceptor is matched based on the priority level of the target building. For ordinary buildings with higher priority, the lightning protection support for important buildings is more critical. Therefore, a higher voltage parameter of the equalizing ring is needed to enhance the pre-charging effect and improve the formation efficiency of the upward leader. Simultaneously, a smaller gap parameter between the first and second conductive posts is used to shorten the breakdown response time, ensuring rapid and efficient lightning interception. For buildings with lower priority, the protection requirements are relatively mild. By reducing the voltage parameter and increasing the gap parameter, basic protection requirements can be met while avoiding resource waste or unnecessary energy consumption caused by over-configuration. Level 1 priority lightning interceptors are located near the edge and in high-incidence thunderstorm directions, requiring "early activation (small gap) + fast leader (high voltage)" to preferentially attract the downward leader. Level 2 priority lightning interceptors are located at a mid-range distance, balancing activation timing and energy to ensure edge coverage. Level 3 priority lightning interceptors are located at the far edge to avoid accidental breakdown while ensuring leader coverage of the edge.
[0112] This technology enables precise matching of setting parameters with protection requirements, allowing lightning interceptors in critical protection locations to achieve optimal protection performance, while interceptors in non-critical locations are rationally allocated resources. This ensures reliable protection for the safety range of important buildings while also taking into account the economy and operational stability of the protection system, avoiding problems such as insufficient protection or resource redundancy caused by uniform parameter settings.
[0113] It is understood that determining the setting parameters for each lightning interceptor in step S150 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0114] Step S510: Based on the thunderstorm environmental parameters, obtain the dominant direction of historical thunderstorms and the average intensity of thunderstorms.
[0115] Step S520: If the difference between the current thunderstorm intensity and the average thunderstorm intensity is greater than the preset intensity threshold, increase the voltage parameter and decrease the gap parameter.
[0116] Step S530: If the current dominant direction of thunderstorms deviates from the historical dominant direction of thunderstorms, increase the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in the current dominant direction of thunderstorms and decrease the gap parameter, and decrease the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in the non-dominant direction of thunderstorms and increase the gap parameter.
[0117] Step S540: If there are two or more dominant directions of the current thunderstorm, increase the voltage parameter of the lightning interceptor in the dominant direction of the current thunderstorm and decrease the gap parameter. No adjustment is made to the lightning interceptors in directions other than the dominant direction of the current thunderstorm.
[0118] In steps S510 to S540, lightning interception requirements are adapted to real-time changes in the thunderstorm environment. The intensity and dominant direction of the thunderstorm directly affect the difficulty and key areas of lightning interception; therefore, voltage and gap parameters need to be adjusted accordingly. When the current thunderstorm intensity far exceeds the average thunderstorm intensity, the stronger lightning field requires a faster breakdown response and more efficient upward leader development. Increasing the voltage parameters can enhance the electric field strength of the equalizing ring and accelerate the upward leader speed, while decreasing the gap parameters can shorten the breakdown response time, ensuring timely interception of strong lightning. When the current dominant direction of the thunderstorm deviates from the historical direction, it is necessary to focus on new risk areas, strengthen the protection capability of the lightning interceptor in the current dominant direction, and reduce the parameter configuration of non-dominant directions to avoid wasting resources. When there are multiple dominant thunderstorm directions, the protection of multiple risk areas needs to be strengthened simultaneously. Non-dominant directions do not require adjustment to meet basic protection requirements, avoiding over-configuration.
[0119] By achieving precise adaptation of setting parameters to the real-time thunderstorm environment, the lightning interceptor's protection capability focuses on the core risk areas. It can maintain a high-efficiency interception effect when dealing with thunderstorms of different intensities and directions. At the same time, it rationally allocates resources, taking into account the targeted nature, reliability, and economy of protection, and avoiding the problems of insufficient protection or resource redundancy in complex thunderstorm environments with fixed parameters.
[0120] It is understood that the step of adjusting the setting parameters of the lightning interceptor in step S160 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0121] Step S610: Input the basic performance information, setting parameters, building parameters and thunderstorm environment into the pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to conduct lightning strike simulation tests.
[0122] Step S620: Calculate the lightning interception success rate of the lightning interceptor installed on each target building, and the probability of lightning strikes in each direction of important buildings.
[0123] Step S630: When the lightning interceptor's interception success rate is lower than the interception success threshold, increase the voltage parameter and decrease the gap parameter in the corresponding lightning interceptor settings.
[0124] Step S640: When there is a probability of lightning strike in a certain direction that is greater than zero, select the ordinary building closest to the corresponding direction from the target building group of non-target installation buildings according to the priority level, add the ordinary building to the target installation buildings, and determine the setting parameters of the corresponding lightning interceptor.
[0125] In steps S610 to S640, the planned layout scheme is simulated and verified using a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model. This allows for the early detection of deficiencies in the layout and parameter settings, preventing lightning interception failure due to inadequate protection or unreasonable parameters in actual applications. This approach demonstrates strong foresight and targeted capability. By statistically analyzing the interception success rate of lightning interceptors on each target building, devices with substandard protection performance can be accurately located. For cases where the interception success rate is below the threshold, the electric field strength of the equalizing ring is enhanced by increasing voltage parameters, accelerating the upward leader development speed, and simultaneously reducing gap parameters to shorten the breakdown response time. This rapid optimization of individual lightning interceptor performance ensures effective interception. Furthermore, by statistically analyzing the lightning strike probability of each direction of important buildings, blind spots not covered by protection can be identified promptly. When a lightning strike probability greater than zero exists in a certain direction, the nearest ordinary building in that direction is selected as the target installation building based on priority, and corresponding parameter settings are configured. This accurately fills protection gaps and prevents important buildings from facing lightning strike risks due to lack of protection in certain areas. This feature, through a closed-loop logic of "simulation verification - precise optimization - blind spot filling," not only ensures the interception effectiveness of a single lightning interceptor but also guarantees comprehensive coverage of the safety range of important buildings, making the lightning protection solution more reliable and reasonable, and effectively avoiding the problems of protection loopholes or improper parameter configuration that may exist if only early planning is relied upon.
[0126] It is understood that building parameters include building height information for ordinary buildings and land area information for important buildings, while basic performance information includes interceptor height information and interceptor maximum voltage information. Step S120 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0127] Step S710: Based on the land area information, determine the center point of the important buildings and the edge distance between the center point and the edge.
[0128] Step S720: Obtain the safety range of important buildings based on the center point and edge distance.
[0129] And step S130 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:
[0130] Step S730: Based on the building height information, the interceptor height information, and the interceptor maximum voltage information, calculate the protection range of the corresponding ordinary building after installing the lightning interceptor.
[0131] In steps S710 to S720, for important buildings, the safety range is delineated by determining the center point and edge distance based on the land area information. This can comprehensively and accurately delineate the core areas that need to be protected, ensuring that there are no blind spots in the protection.
[0132] In step S730, for ordinary buildings, the protection range is calculated by combining the building height information, the interceptor height information, and the interceptor maximum voltage information. This can accurately reflect the actual protection capability of the lightning interceptor, avoiding the problem of excessive protection overlap or insufficient coverage due to inaccurate range estimation. This makes the selection of target installation buildings and the determination of setting parameters more targeted, thereby ensuring the rationality and effectiveness of the entire lightning protection scheme.
[0133] Specifically, this protection distance can be calculated using the following formula:
[0134] ;
[0135] In this formula, R 防护 The radius of the protection range is given by k, the comprehensive correction factor is given by H, and the sum of the building height information and the interceptor height information is given by U. max This is the maximum voltage information for the interceptor.
[0136] It is understood that after step S150, the following steps may be included, but are not limited to:
[0137] Step S810: After traversing all ordinary buildings, if the protection range of the target installation building still does not completely cover the safety range, obtain the missing range where the safety range is not covered by the protection range.
[0138] Step S820: Determine the ordinary building whose protection range is closest to the missed range, and calculate the expected range that the ordinary building needs to cover for the missed range.
[0139] Step S830: Generate and output a height adjustment scheme based on the initial protection range, the desired range, and the building parameters of ordinary buildings.
[0140] In steps S810 to S830, for the safety areas not fully covered by the protection range after traversing all ordinary buildings, a height adjustment scheme is generated by accurately locating the missed areas and the nearest ordinary building. This fills the protection gap without requiring a large number of additional target installation buildings, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the safety range of important buildings, avoiding the risk of lightning strikes due to protection blind spots, and also taking into account the economy and ease of implementation of the scheme. The core reason for adjusting the height is that the building height of ordinary buildings directly affects the installation height of the lightning interceptor, and the installation height of the lightning interceptor changes the actual effective height of the central discharge needle, thus affecting the size and coverage radius of the protection range. The higher the height, the wider the electric field range that the central discharge needle can radiate, the more open the protection area formed, and the larger the horizontal distance and vertical range that can be covered. By reasonably increasing the height of the corresponding ordinary building, the protection range of the lightning interceptor installed on it can be expanded from the initial state to the desired range, thereby accurately covering the previously uncovered missed areas and ensuring no blind spots in protection.
[0141] The core approach to increasing the height of lightning interceptors is to directly raise the installation height of the lightning interceptor itself by adding an independent support structure, optimizing the installation carrier, or replacing the height-enhancing components, without altering the main building structure. Specific feasible solutions include: First, using independent insulated support columns. High-strength insulated support columns (such as ceramic or epoxy resin) are fixed to the building roof or designated installation location. The lightning interceptor's base is fixed to the top of the support column, and the height of the interceptor is precisely controlled by adjusting the height of the support column. Second, adding adjustable roof brackets. Telescopic brackets made of metal or insulated materials (such as hydraulic telescopic or threaded adjustable brackets) are used to fix the interceptor to the brackets, and the height is finely adjusted by adjusting the telescopic amount of the brackets. Third, replacing the existing base with a height-adjustable modular insulated base. The base can be reinforced with internal ribs to ensure stability, while remaining compatible with existing mounting holes, eliminating the need for re-drilling. Fourth, using stacked insulated lifting components. Multiple layers of removable insulating pads or sleeves are added between the interceptor base and the mounting surface. The lifting height can be flexibly adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of components, while ensuring insulation performance and structural stability. These solutions can effectively increase the actual effective height of the lightning interceptor without altering the building itself, thereby expanding the protection range and meeting the coverage needs of any missed areas.
[0142] It is understandable that after step S830, the following steps may also be included, but are not limited to:
[0143] Step S910: When the building parameters of ordinary buildings do not meet the adjustment conditions of the expected range, a new building scheme is generated and output based on the building parameters, omission range and basic performance information of the target building group.
[0144] In step S910, when ordinary buildings cannot meet the desired range by adjusting their height due to their own building parameters, a new building plan is generated to completely fill the missing areas of the safety range of important buildings, avoid the risk of lightning strikes due to the residual blind spots in protection, and ensure the comprehensiveness of protection. At the same time, the plan is precisely designed based on the building parameters of the target building group, the missing range, and the basic performance information of the lightning interceptor. This ensures that the new building can adapt to the installation and protection requirements of the lightning interceptor, while avoiding the waste of resources caused by blindly adding new buildings, thus taking into account both the reliability of protection and the feasibility of implementation.
[0145] The proposed new building will be located in the area closest to the missed area and will not affect the layout of the existing building complex. The specific location, height, and foundation bearing capacity of the new building will be clearly defined to ensure that the lightning interceptor can accurately cover the missed area after installation. The plan will also match the basic performance requirements of the lightning interceptor, design the installation platform structure on the top of the building, the grounding system layout, and coordinate the protection range of the new building with the surrounding existing target installation buildings to avoid overlapping protection. This will ensure that the entire protection system forms a complete closed loop, meeting both lightning interception requirements and building safety and layout specifications.
[0146] Secondly, the application also provides a lightning interceptor layout system based on lightning strike simulation, comprising: at least one memory, at least one processor and at least one program, wherein the program is stored in the memory and the processor executes one or more programs to implement the above-described lightning interceptor layout method based on lightning strike simulation.
[0147] In this lightning interceptor deployment system based on lightning strike simulation, the basic performance information of the lightning interceptors, the building parameters of the target building complex, and the corresponding thunderstorm environment parameters are first obtained. Then, the safety range of important buildings is determined based on their building parameters. Combining the basic performance information of the lightning interceptors and the building parameters of ordinary buildings, the protection range of ordinary buildings after installing lightning interceptors is obtained. Simultaneously, each ordinary building is assigned a priority level, and then the target installation building is selected and its corresponding setting parameters are determined. Finally, the relevant data is input into a pre-trained lightning strike simulation model to adjust the parameters and obtain the layout verification results, generating and outputting layout planning information. This data-driven process avoids the subjectivity and limitations of human experience-based layout. Through precise analysis and simulation verification of various parameters, it ensures that the protection range of the target installation building completely covers the safety range of important buildings, effectively solving the problem in the background technology where some areas of important buildings cannot be protected. This achieves more comprehensive and reasonable lightning protection, improving the targeting and reliability of the protection scheme.
