An effective lightning protection system is mainly composed of two forms (i.e., internal and external) of protection systems, depending on their functionality. External lightning protection systems include different design methodologies to protect structures or buildings, as well as open areas and people from direct lightning strikes.
damaged by lightning strikes largely reduces the return of investment because it incurs disassembly cost and transportation cost. The component failures affe ct the continuity of the power supply as well. Consequently, effective lightning protection is indispensable for PV systems.
In this paper, the performance of a lightning protection system (LPS) on a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) park is studied by simulating different scenarios with the use of an appropriate software tool.
Lightning transient evaluation of a PV system has been a necessary task in designing effective LPS. Such evaluation has been addressed experimentally and numerically. Stern and Karner investigated the induced voltages of a single panel in the laboratory. An inductive coupling model for PV panels was also proposed to assist the design.
