How can a PV system protect against lightning?

The paper recommends modifying the system performance against lightning by the proper cable arrangement, using PV systems with a metal frame, using the efficient grounding system with low resistance, and keeping an appropriate distance between the external LPS and the PV system.

What is a solar substation grounding guide?

Abstract: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for photovoltaic solar power plants that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.

What are the characteristics of a grounding system under Lightning?

Numerous studies have systems during lightning strikes. It is found that soil stratifi- the characteristics of a grounding system under lightning. They should be considered in the design of the grounding system. an influence on the grounding performance. Note that specified underground cables, wind turbines, etc.

Can a dedicated grounding grid improve lightning protection?

Installing a dedicated grounding grid, which is very costly in a large PV power plant, can reduce the amplitude of the transferred voltage and eliminate the residual voltage effectively. It is found that the arrangement using a bonding network is superior to other grounding improvement approaches in lightning protection.

How to protect solar power plants from lightning?

The work recommended the mesh-type air termination instead of vertical rods to reduce mechanical damage and avoid the shadow effect. To assess the external lightning protection and the earthing systems design in the large-scale solar power plants, the methods and models were also presented [ 38 ].
