Abstract
Increasing demand for wind power generation forces the installation of wind farms with higher capacities and higher structures. Therefore, the probability of lightning strikes increases and more attentions are needed for lightning protection to reduce damages. Blades are the most probable parts of the wind turbines to get struck by lightning. Usually, receptors protect blades, however close investigation of receptors behaviors is necessary. The effects of these receptors in protection against lightning strikes in investigated in this paper. The transient impedance of a wind turbine blade is obtained by using software on the basis of Finite Element Method (FEM) named COMSOL Multiphysics. Various locations and numbers of receptors are investigated and the voltage and the transient impedance curves at the injection points are obtained by the simulations. the results are compared in order to investigate the effects of receptors. The resul...
