Technical FAQs 4

What is a lightning protection standard?

This internationally recognized standard, developed by the international experts and organized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), establishes guidelines and requirements for safeguarding wind turbines against the destructive forces of lightning strikes.

Does this guide cover Offshore wind power plants?

Similarly, this guide does not cover offshore wind power plants, battery energy storage facilities, solar power plants, or substation grounding. Scope: This guide is primarily concerned with the collector systems grounding for wind power plants.

What is the purpose of the collector system grounding guide?

Scope: This guide is primarily concerned with the collector systems grounding for wind power plants. This guide is not intended for the wind power plant substation, however since the substation is typically interconnected with the collector system, its design might affect or be affected by the collector system.

Do wind turbines need lightning protection?

To ensure optimal protection for wind turbines, operators must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the IEC 61400-24 standard and implement industry best practices. This includes regular inspections, maintenance checks, and periodic testing of lightning protection systems to verify their effectiveness and reliability.
