AI Customer ServiceWith all the barriers discussed in Section 3.3, the need for lightning protection on PV systems must be evaluated on the basis of the risk analysis and protection costs. Table 10 presents the recommended standards related to PV systems including PV installations, lightning protection systems and electrical installations. Table 10.
Similar to other power systems [, , , , ], PV systems are vulnerable to lightning because they are always installed in unsheltered open areas. Recent studies on lightning protection of PV systems have drawn much attentions .
An external lightning protection system (external LPS), is intended to intercept the stepped leader through an air termination system, to conduct the lightning current safely towards ground level via a down conductor and to conduct the lightning current into the earth through an earth termination system , (Table 6). Table 6.
Lightning is a common cause of failures in photovoltaic (PV) and wind-electric systems. A damaging surge can occur from lightning that strikes a long distance from the system or between clouds. But most lightning damage is preventable. In this article, you will learn how to protect your solar power system from lightning.
Find answers to frequently asked questions concerning lightning and surge protection for photovoltaic systems. The DEHN test centre is one of the most powerful impulse current laboratories worldwide. Here inverters and mounting systems can be thoroughly tested with a lighting current up to 400 kA.
All this kind of destruction will undoubtedly affect the economic aspects or the return on investment that could be earned from PV power generation as well as the cost of repair or replacement to recover from the damage, all of which can be mitigated by implementing a lightning protection system (LPS) .
