Abstract

A failure of a smart grid system can cause huge economic losses. particularly for large systems installed to power smart cities. How can interference from hackers using new techniques such as the superpower electromagnetic pulse, or from natural phenomena such as lightning strikes which intensity increases every year be prevented?, the More than 200 strokes per 1 square-kilometer per year of cloud to ground lightning (CG) had been recorded in some area of Thailand and this is projected to increase since extreme weather events, such more frequent very strong thunderstorms, are also increasing .
In depth reviews show that lightning electromagnetic impulse protection measure can be very important for ensuring safety of a smart grid network. The methodologies for the design and installation of smart homes and buildings must conformed with the standards of h EMC/EMI in order for systems to withstand the interferences. As such, the best approach for the protection of the systems against electromagnetic field from both wave propagation and inductance through various conductors is the LEMP protection measure. This consists of the defining the lightning protection zone (LPZ) and lightning protection level (LPL) and the design and installation of the earthing system, lightning protection system (LPS), shielding, equipotential bonding, cable path and the combination of SPDs. This paper has shown the appropriate concept architecture of LEMP protection measure for smart home and building in smart grid system in Thailand.
