If you want to protect your investment, surge protection is not an option, it is a necessity, but if you want total protection and peace of mind, a lightning protection system can make the difference between the success and failure of large-scale solar power installations.
A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.
STORAGE TANKS FROM LIGHTNING FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITYProviding adequate and effective lightning ‘solid’ connection to ground. This usually con-protection for storage tanks constitutes sists of a conductor attached to a grounding a beneficial and cost-effective step in tab at the base of the tank shell running to a assuring both per
Distant lightning strikes or so-called indirect lightning strikes lead to conducted partial lightning currents (impulse waveform 10/350 μs) in the supply lines, or also to induced / capacitive couplings (impulse 8/20 μs) in the electronic components of the storage system itself (so-called LEMP = Lightning ElectroMagnetic Pulse) (Figure 1).
Like all electrical installations, energy storage systems need application-specific protection. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are now a mature technology.
If PV power stations are equipped with a battery storage system, the electronic equipment, battery and inverter need to be protected against surges. Figure 2 shows a PV storage system (container construction) that discharges the direct lightning strike to the soil via the metal housing of the container.
