Abstract

With the wide application of carbon fiber materials in long blades of offshore wind turbines, lightning protection technology of carbon fiber blades has become an urgent problem to be solved. According to IEC61400-24 requirements, lightning protection of carbon fiber blades requires laying conductors on the surface of carbon fiber materials to prevent damage to carbon fiber structures. At present, lightning protection of carbon fiber blades mainly uses lightning protection metal mesh, but the metal mesh needs to be maintained and repaired after each lightning stroke, which virtually increases the cost of maintenance. In this paper, a dual-circuit lightning protection system is proposed, which combines the advantages of air-termination and metal mesh. The effectiveness of the system is verified by simulation analysis. The lightning protection system can reduce the number of blade maintenance and improve safety and reliability of wind turbines then enhance the market competitiveness of wind power products.
