Wind power generation is the most mature technology and the largest scale renewable clean energy in China. The single unit capacity of wind turbine is increasing. The height, installation position and internal sensitive electronic equipment of wind turbine determine that wind turbine is vulnerable to lightning stroke.
Wind power generation is the most mature technology and the largest scale renewable clean energy in China. The single unit capacity of wind turbine is increasing. The height, installation position and internal sensitive electronic equipment of wind turbine determine that wind turbine is vulnerable to lightning stroke. According to the survey, more than 4% of the wind turbines suffer from lightning damage, and more than 40-50% of the damage is the control system and blades of the wind turbine. It will take a long time from damage, repair, maintenance to the final re-use, which will affect the efficiency of wind power generation.
