Lightning Protection Model of Photovoltaic Power Plants
The aim of this paper is to analyze the lightning protection model of a photovoltaic power plant, which is of great importance, in order to guarantee the smooth work of the system and avoid
Protect components from avoidable damage and costly failures. A lightning protection system for ground-mounted PV systems protects them from direct lightning strikes and transient overvoltages. It protects the power plant area as well as the modules, the inverters and the plant monitoring system.
Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition, the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the superior modeling methods of PV systems during lightning strikes.
The necessities of lightning protection on the PV systems and its barrier, the need for different lightning protection system on PV systems as well as its recommended practices are also discussed in this paper.
Despite the technical advances, no equipment can prevent the occurrence of lightning. Therefore, an effective protection system against lightning and transient overvoltages is one of the basic requirements of PV power systems to significantly increase their efficiency and reduce maintenance time and spare parts cost.
