Title :
Protection of wind turbines control systems from the induced effects of lightning
Abstract :
The control equipment installed in a wind turbine can be susceptible to induced voltage transients arising from a lightning strike. Transient levels are very dependent on small details of installation such as wire routing, and in this paper suggestions are made to minimise these lightning effects by simple installation procedures
