Lightning surge analysis for hybrid wind turbine-photovoltaic
In this paper, the lightning characteristics for the hybrid WT-PV-BESS substation are investigated in detail. The HF model for the components of hybrid system, such as PV
Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are designed to protect electronic equipment by absorbing electrical surges. However, these devices are not a substitute for good grounding. They function only in conjunction with effective grounding. The grounding system is an important part of your wiring infrastructure.
Lightning protection systems (LPS) provide a protective zone to assure against direct strikes to PV systems by utilizing basic principles of air terminals, down conductors, equipotential bonding, separation distances and a low‐ impedance grounding electrode system.
Despite the high lightning risk that PV systems are exposed to, they may be protected by the appropriate application of Surge Protection Devices and a Lighting Protection System. One must give thoughtful and careful consideration to the following:
