The formulation is undertaken in the frequency domain and based on the related Electric Field Integral Equations—EFIE (Pocklington integro-differential equations for arbitrary wire structures in the presence of a lossy half-space). The influence of a dissipative half-space is taken into account via the rigorous Sommerfeld integral approach. The numerical solution of corresponding EFIE is carried out by means of the Galerkin-Bubnov Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM) featuring the use of isoparametric elements while the Sommerfeld integrals are evaluated numerically. The corresponding transient response is obtained via the Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT). The computational examples are related to the transient response of WTs struck by lightning and the transient behaviour of the realistic grounding systems for WTs. The WTs are energized by either an ideal voltage or a current source, respectively. WT is represented by a corresponding multiple wire configuration, while the lightning channel is modelled as an equivalent lossy vertical wire attached to the wind turbine. Furthermore, the grounding system is composed from rings, horizontal and vertical electrodes, respectively.

Realistic bow-tie GPR antenna is modeled as an equivalent dipole antenna with current distribution governed by Hallen integral equation. Electric field transmitted into a lossy medium is determined using Boundary Element formalism for the solution of field integral formulas. Electric field distribution at a certain depth is calculated using this procedure.

The radiating part of the Tesla's transmitter is represented by an equivalent monopole antenna excited by an ideal current source replacing the Tesla's transformer. The formulation is based on the frequency domain homogeneous Pocklington integrodifferential equation. Solving the Pocklington equation numerically via the Galerkin Bubnov variant of the Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM) [4] current distribution along the equivalent monopole antenna is obtained. Knowing the current distribution along the monopole antenna the radiated electric field is readily obained integrating the induced current along the wire. Some illustrative numerical results for the antenna current and related field is presented in the paper. This work should be regarded as an opener to this subject, i.e. the first step in the full wave model of the Tesla's transmitter.

Some illustrative computational examples are presented in the paper.

The time domain integral equation (TDIE) approach is based on the Hallen integral equation for half-space problems. The numerical solution is carried out via the space-time scheme of the Galerkin-Bubnov Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM). The frequency domain formulation is based on the Pocklington's integro-differential equation which is solved by using the frequency domain scheme of the Galerkin Bubnov Indirect Boundary Element Method. The related transient response is obtained by means of the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT). The Integral Equation combined with the transmission coefficient arising from modified image theory (MIT) represents the novel method for obtaining the transmitted electric field of a GPR antenna. This paper brings the comparison of the results obtained by different approaches in solving the Integral Equation. The calculated results agree satisfactorily.

A transmission line (TL) approximation and antenna model approaches are both implemented to analyze the Tesla's propagation concept. The Tesla's propagation path through the ground has been represented by an equivalent conductor excited at one end by the current source. The current distribution and the voltage have been calculated analytically. In particular, the voltage is calculated from standard TL equation and Generalized Telegrapher's equation formulation. Results for the voltage and generated power are presented in the paper.

The problem is twofold, i.e. it requires the calculation of power substation electric field and current density induced inside the human body. ELF electric field generated from a power substation is assessed by solving the Scalar Potential Integral Equation (SPIE) using the Source Element Method (SEM), a variant of the Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM). Knowing the electric field due to the substation the current density induced within the human being exposed to such field is obtained by solving the Laplace equation variant of the continuity equation using the direct Boundary Element Method with domain decomposition (BEM-DM). Some illustrative computational results for external electric field and internal current density are presented.
