Research on Comprehensive Lightning Protection Measures of Hainan Satellite Ground Station
Thunderstorm weather occurs frequently in Hainan Province,Taking effective lightning protection measures is a precondition for ensuring safety operation of Hainan Satellite Ground Station.Matlab is used to visualize thunderstorm data in the past 30 years.Statistical analysis is conducted on the annual average thunderstorm days and the percentage of monthly average thunderstorm days in Hainan.Based on the thunderstorm data,the height of antenna tower base,the spatial distribution of power and signal cables,the annual lightning strikes and lightning protection level of Hainan Satellite Ground Station are calculated.Finally,comprehensive lightning protection measures for Hainan Satellite Ground Station are proposed,including the protection area of lightning rod,lightning protection for antenna tower bases,equipotential connection in computer room,selection and installation of surge protective device,fiber optic transmission for lightning protection,signal cable shielding protection,maintenance of lighting protection device.
