“…Since most of the winter lightning strikes to turbines belong to the upward lightning type (Honjo, 2015), the effect of rotation on the enhancement of lightning inception has been discussed and investigated (e.g., Rachidi et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2008;Montanyà et al, 2014a;Radičević et al, 2012). However, there is no clear evidence that the number of lightning flashes increases significantly with the effect of rotation.…”

“…Figure a shows an example of severe lightning damages to two wind turbines in the northeast of Spain during a winter storm. A growing number of studies speculate whether a rotating wind turbine is more susceptible to lightning strikes than stationary turbines [e.g., Rachidi et al ., ; Wang et al ., ; Radicevic et al ., ]. Wang et al .…”

“…Lightning impulse voltage (1.2/50 µs)/switching impulse voltage (250/2500 µs) of positive/negative polarity are generated using a single stage impulse voltage generator by appropriately varying the values of the source capacitance, front resistance and the tail resistance. LIV and SIV correspond to that of summer and winter lightning [9][10][11][21][22][23][24][25]. To understand the surface discharge activity in GFRP material, the quasi-uniform electric field gap consists of two angular electrode tip cut for 45˚ (with edges smooth) placed on 3 mm thick GFRP material, as shown in Figure 2.…”
