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.
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.
To obtain the optimal protection system, it is recommended firstly to improve the system performance itself during lightning occurrence with the suitable arrangement of cables and keep the separation distance larger than the minimum value.
The performance of the LPS of grid-connected PV systems was evaluated with the focus on achieving the optimal design of LPS to protect the system from direct lightning strikes . Moreover, the surge potentials under the effect of separation distance, soil structure, and grounding systems were analyzed.
Owners of buildings often ask what kind of damage can result from lightning strikes and, consequently, how high the cost of protection measures should be in relation to the value of the building.
The purpose of different methods for modeling the PV System during lightning occurrence, which are summarized in Table 2, is to illustrate the various numerical approaches used by
Just like its predecessors, this edition of the lightning protection guide offers assistance in installing profes-sional lightning protection systems in line with the very latest standards.
