Tech/Engineering - Patents / (in a patent) "Method for warning about lightning activity in wind farms"
English term or phrase: premises
To that end, in the method the presence or absence of a storm cell in the wind farm and/or in the vicinity thereof, preferably within a radius of less than 400 km, is detected, the local electric field is measured, at least one atmospheric condition is identified or measured under given premises, and the probabilities of the generation of upward lightnings originating from the wind-driven power generators of the wind farm are determined depending on the result of said measurements, identifications and detections, a warning signal being transmitted in the event that the determined probability exceeds a given threshold value.

It has surprisingly been found that if a given relationship between different atmospheric
conditions (or between an atmospheric condition and a given premise linked to another
atmospheric condition), combined with the detection of the presence of a storm by means of the electric field and the detection of a storm cell, is satisfied, a winter storm, and therefore a risk of the generation of upward lightnings, can be successfully forecast or anticipated. For this reason, the identification or measurement of at least one atmospheric condition are furthermore added to the previously considered factors.

temperature in the wind farm, or in the vicinity thereof, is identified or measured under given premises of pressure and/or height with respect to sea level.

the relationship between temperature and the given premises is a temperature less than -10°C at a pressure of 700 hPa, and/or at a height of about 3 km with respect to sea level.

French translation:prémisse
Explanation:
I have to confess I'm not entirely sure how this EN usage really fits here, but it clearly means something like 'underlying principle', or here possibly 'assumption. So I believe this would be the equivalent in FR.

Clearly nothing do with with 'premises' = 'a place' ('des locaux' etc.)

neutral  Emmanuella: Prémisse ou principe/postulat?

  -> 'Under given premises' to me suggest 'in certain situations', 'assuming certain conditions', and for me, that's close to the idea of 'prémisse'?
agree  Daryo: here: given premises = working hypothesis / under these assumptions of pressure / temperature / electrical field etc

neutral  Laurent Di Raimondo: Le terme "prémisse" est d'un usage extrêmement rare, voire un peu suranné, pour un natif de la langue. On lui préfère désormais des expressions plus compréhensibles et accessibles.

  -> I lnow; but for a native speaker of EN, 'premises' in this usage is likewise 'rare et suranné'. I think it fits the register here perfectly, as is typical for patents.

under the given premises
dans des conditions données


Explanation:
Il faut prendre ici l'expression "under given premises" (qui revient plusieurs fois dans le texte source) pour comprendre le sens de l'expression.

"Premises" s'entend ici par "postulat", c'est à dire "en partant du principe".

"Under the given premises" se traduit donc ici par "dans des conditions données" ou "dans les conditions données".

Ici, le paragraphe "Temperature in the wind farm, or in the vicinity thereof, is identified or measured under given premises of pressure and/or height with respect to sea level" se traduirait donc par : "La température dans le périmètre du parc éolien, ou à proximité, est ressentie ou mesurée dans des conditions données de pression [atmosphérique] et/ou d'altitude par rapport au niveau de la mer".

Cette expression est aussi utilisé en droit, dans certains jugements, et signifie : "En partant du fait (établi) que..." ou "En partant du principe que...".
