Research on Comprehensive Lightning Protection Technology for Wind Turbine Generators
Wind power generation plays a significant role in the process of developing and constructing clean energy in China,and it occupies a strategic position that is pivotal to promoting the development of the national economy.As a clean and renewable energy source,wind power generation has received widespread attention and application globally.In China,wind power generation projects are distributed throughout the country,particularly in regions with higher wind speeds such as coastal areas,ridges,and hills.However,these areas are often prone to lightning strikes,resulting in extremely harsh operating conditions for wind power generation equipment.Therefore,studying lightning protection techniques for wind turbine generators and ensuring the safe and stable operation of wind power generation equipment is particularly important.Based on this,this article discusses the structure of wind turbine generators,the principles of electricity generation,and the lightning environment,analyzes the hazards of lightning to wind turbine generators,and studies comprehensive lightning protection techniques,providing a certain reference for peers.
