Understanding Lightning and Lightning Protection Notes

ELEN7018: Earthing and Lightning Project Project - High Level Design of Earthing and Lightning Protection System for an Upgrade of a site to Wind and Solar Generation Plant in the Eastern Cape Last document update:   ago

This report detail a high level design undertaken for a mix of renewable resources site of an assumed area of 750km2 in the Eastern Cape with a ground flash density of 10 flashes/ km2/year in a sandy and loose soil with average resistivity of 1225Ωm which was found to cause mild corrosion effect on conductors. The renewable resources site consisted of four wind turbines of a height of 125m and three PV arrays including three solar generation buildings, and three operation and control centre bu...
