Simulates lightning-induced overvoltages in wind farm cables, indicating that metallic sheath grounding and resistance dictate surge protection requirements.
Wind turbine generators in a windfarm are connected by underground cables. Lightning sometimes strikes a nacelle or a blade. Lightning overvoltages due to a direct lightning strike to the system cause damages in the underground cable. Many parameters should be investigated to establish a rational lightning protection design for wind power generation system. Numerical simulation is a useful method to discuss the influence of the parameters on the lightning overvoltages. This paper uses an Electro-Magnetic Transients Program for the lightning surge analysis. This paper discusses the influence of grounding method of metallic sheath of the cable and grounding resistance on the lightning overvoltages for the direct lightning strike to the generation system.
