This article introduces a new approach for lightning protection systems for wind turbine blades, focusing on the importance of installing an earth-termination system to protect the wind turbine against lightning strikes and to earth the power supply system. Wind-turbine damage caused by lightning strikes seems unavoidable. After all. . Lightning strikes to a wind turbine blade can create severe damages, even with a lightning protection system (LPS) installed. Early detection and precise root cause analysis lead to cost-effective repairs and maintenance, optimizing operational expenditure (OPEX). 6 to once a year on average - usually on a rotor blade. The risk is even higher for multi-megawatt turbines. Studies show that these are exposed to direct. .
