The algorithm allows additionally the evaluation of reflection coefficients at the top and at the bottom of the tower. The proposed method is validated using first theoretically-generated current waveforms and then, using experimental data of lightning current measured at Peissenberg towerelectric current measurementgenetic algorithmslightninggenetic algorithmsprimary lightning current parametersinstrumented towerscurrent waveformsPeissenberg towerreflection coefficientslightning return current stroketext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
