6 FAQs about Self-check on lightning protection of wind-solar hybrid communication base station

Which lightning protection standards are available for PV and wind systems?

Many lightning protection standards are available for PV and wind systems. However, standards for hybrid systems remain unavailable. In this section, the CENELEC standard, which is available for PV systems with an integrated external LPS when separation distance is not maintained, is applied to the hybrid system.

How do you protect a solar system from lightning?

A proper protection measure based on SPDs should be applied to mitigate transient overvoltage under the withstand voltage of the system to be protected. Many lightning protection standards are available for PV and wind systems. However, standards for hybrid systems remain unavailable.

How to protect a hybrid PV-wind system?

The electrical and electronic components in the hybrid PV–wind system are exposed to lightning currents with high amplitudes. A proper protection measure based on SPDs should be applied to mitigate transient overvoltage under the withstand voltage of the system to be protected.

Can a hybrid solar and wind power system provide reliable electric power?

This paper presents the solution to utilizing a hybrid of photovoltaic (PV) solar and wind power system with a backup battery bank to provide feasibility and reliable electric power for a specific remote mobile base station located at west arise, Oromia.

Can LPs be used to mitigate lightning-related effects on a hybrid PV–wind system?

Transient effects on a 4.1 MW hybrid PV–wind system due to direct lightning strikes are simulated and analyzed without LPS. An LPS system is designed based on the recommendations of the CENELEC standard to determine if they are appropriate in mitigating lightning-related effects on the hybrid system.

Do lightning transient effects affect a hybrid 4.1 MW PV–wind system?

Lightning transient effects on a hybrid 4.1 MW PV–wind system were investigated in this work by using PSCAD/EMTDC software. A simulation was performed with real lightning current waveforms, namely, negative first stroke and positive stroke, with and without a lightning protection system.
