Description
Summary:This paper presents updates on the cloud-to-ground lightning occurrences observed by a lightning location system (LLS) network in Malaysia from 2008 to 2011. The current LLS consist of seven sensors, a central processor, a database management and real-time lightning activities display terminals. Analysis of lightning data provided by the LLS and the use of lightning data collected for distribution overhead lines network reliability improvement will be presented.
