“…Referring to H. Chen et al. (2021), The criteria for clustering strokes into CG lightning flashes are as follows: (a) the time interval between strokes shall be less than 500 ms; (b) the distances of strokes are within 10 km. Take the average location of the strokes within a CG lightning that are close to each other as the location of the CG lightning.…”

“…Most WTs in wind farms are arrayed in “clusters.” Most current studies regard wind turbine clusters (WTCs) as a whole to study the characteristics of lightning strikes in WTCs. The WTC had an attractive effect on lightning activities in the impact area (Birkl et al., 2016; H. Chen et al., 2021; Soula et al., 2019), and the peak current of the strokes can also increase (Birkl et al., 2016; H. Chen et al., 2021). For example, Soula et al.…”

“…in the coverage area of the WTC. For example, H. Chen et al (2021) used lightning location data to study the stroke distribution before and after the installation of an offshore wind farm in eastern China and found that the flash density inside the wind farm was lower than the average flash density. WTs at the edge of a wind farm can shield the inner WTs, and this shielding effect is not obvious in mountain wind farms due to topographic relief.…”

In recent years, energy issues have become increasingly prominent. As a sustainable energy, wind power has received increasing attention and has been vigorously developed. Wind turbines (WTs) are the core components of wind power generation. As grounded protrusions, the characteristic reactions of WTs to lightning strikes are similar to those of ordinary tall buildings. Generally, tall buildings affect surrounding cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning activities and attract more lightning events (
