Abstract:When a wind turbine is in normal operation, the blades are rotating, and this blade rotation may affect the process of lightning striking the wind turbine. To investigate this problem, long-gap discharge tests are performed in this study. Moreover, a multiple physical parameter synchronous observation platform is designed for a scaled wind turbine. Long-gap discharge tests of a static and rotary-scaled wind turbine with blade tip-electrode gap distances of 1 to 8 m are conducted, and the discharge paths under … Show more
