dc.description.abstract | To fulfill the project requirement for the fifth and six semester, a standard report
was produces according to standardize documentation this documentation is written to
help student to understand the requirement and assessment of project performance
according to expected criteria the title of the project is ‘Simulation and Analysis of
Electric Field Strength at Ground Level as Basis for Lightning Hazard Warning’. The
objectives of this project are to study the electric strength that developed by the charges
from thunderclouds, to design and analyze the electric field strength at ground level as a
basis of lightning hazard by using Quickfield software, and to simulate the electric field
strength of the objects and define which part of objects have more electric field strength
at ground level by using the Quickfield software. The research methodology has been
carried out to fulfill the objectives of the Final Year Project, which include the method
of data collection such as the documents study, case studies, and simulation, by
Quickfield software. The methodology process is start with the literature review, design
object by using QuickField software, simulation, and analysis. Finally, conclude the
analysis. It ends in a research report. There are four objects in the ground are examples
of simulation and analysis were reviewed to determine the probability of each object
will be struck by lightning. The four objects are high-rise building, small building, tree,
and factory. In this project, simulation of these objects is to use the Quickfield’s
software. There are three simulations have been done in this project, which is at the
same height but different distances, different heights but the same distance, and
compare the voltage for each objects. The result show that the potential of the building
is represented by thin lines. So that, the potential of voltage is very high at near the
corner to the object. The surface on the ground being zero. | en_US |
