the continuous multiple lightning current impulses acting on struck objects represent a critical characteristic of multiple strokes phenomena. However
the complex physical processes and disaster mechanisms of this phenomenon exhibit significant differences from those of a single lightning strike
which poses challenges for accurate lightning risk assessment and effective protection. Effective assessment of multiple strokes risks and the proposal of mitigation measures are critical to understanding the phenomenon of multiple strokes and its typical impacts on power systems
as well as to constructing a transient analysis model that accurately reflects the continuous lightning current effects. This constitutes the foundation for enhancing power system's resilience to deal with lightning disasters and ensuring secure
reliable grid operation. Therefore
this paper starts with the observation of multiple strokes. First
the phenomenon of multiple strokes and their significant differences from single lightning stroke are introduced
focusing on the characteristics of continuous lightning currents action and the distribution range of the interval time. Next
combined the above features
the typical impacts and hazards of multiple strokes on power system equipment and facilities are discussed. Then
this paper reviews the lightning attachment
energy propagation and dissipation processes of multiple strokes
emphasizing the mechanisms of their impact on facilities and equipment. Finally
this paper discusses the challenges in the observation
simulation and impact assessment of multiple strokes
and puts forward the research interests that can be carried out in the future.
