Vaisala has launched the FALLS (Fault Analysis and Lightning Location System) Server 5.1 and enhanced FALLS 5.1 client software for its global customers. FALLS software allows utilities and wind farm operators the ability to quickly determine if lightning has affected an asset. Customers can analyze events and access historical lightning data for near-real time and past occurrences. The software allows customers to be proactive in their approach to determining damage caused by lightning. In addition, Vaisala will also release its Thunderstorm Total Lightning Database (TLD100 and TLD200), which provides fast data collection and over 20 years of historical data for customers to use. The Total Lightning Database TLD100/200 is a processing module in the Vaisala Thunderstorm Information System, which specializes in archiving cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning data for forensic applications.
