Abstract

This paper presents induced effect on structure of the wind-turbine due to lightning. Conventional lightning protection system is not 100 percent reliable to protect low voltage control circuits, communication devices, measurement devices inside wind-turbine. This paper gives some ideas for increasing reliability level of wind-turbine by applying various techniques like provision of individual back up protection path, shielding on wind-turbine’s main components & good grounding system.
