The University of the Witwatersrand’ (Wits’) Johannesburg Lightning Research Laboratory (JLRL) is turning Johannesburg into a laboratory where live lightning events are measured and characterised through the use of high-speed cameras, direct current measurements, fast electric field measurements, field measurements and comparison with lightning location systems. To build on Wits’ pioneering research into lightning, and as part of the Wits Centenary programme that seeks to advance society for good, the JLRL has partnered with lightning protection company Dehn Africa and State-owned telecommunications company Sentech to support research into the protection of renewable energy systems from lightning.
