Lightning and surge protection for free field systems and solar parks
Protection against direct lightning strikes and transient overvoltage
A lightning protection system for free field systems and solar parks has two main goals:
- Protection of the power plant area from lightning-related damage
- Protection of the modules, inverters and monitoring systems from the effects of electromagnetic impulses
The investment volume is high and therefore system operators require permanent system availability – For this reason, the lightning-related risk should be calculated according to IEC 62305-2. The results of such a risk analysis form the basis for planning a lightning protection system.
