Research on Lightning Protection System for Wind Turbines
This paper focuses on the structural characteristics of wind turbines and analyzes potential hazards such as ther-mal effects,mechanical effects,potential transients,electromagnetic induction,and ground potential backlash that may be attributed to lightning strikes.Based on domestic and international lightning protection level standards,the study sys-tematically designs lightning protection strategies for wind turbines,including external lightning protection design for blades and engine rooms,as well as installation positions,methods,and parameter optimization of lightning protection systems for blades and engine rooms.The grounding system has also been carefully considered,aiming to minimize poten-tial impact of lightning strikes and ensure safe operation.Through this comprehensive lightning protection design,relia-bility and safety of wind turbines will be improved,providing strong support for achieving the goal of clean energy.
