Lightning protection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical area of study as these installations are increasingly exposed to atmospheric discharges that can substantially disrupt energy production ...

Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...

Electrical substations utilize direct lightning stroke shielding to help ensure proper operation, and to prevent costly damages and extended outages. While modern substation designs and equipment make ...

European researchers have successfully tested a terawatt-level laser pulse system that can be used to protect power plants and other infrastructure from lightning strikes. The laser system can ...

Megger has enhanced its KC series of test leads used with wind turbines. KC-C test leads are lightweight, making them safe for use at heights, and are designed to work with Megger’s DLRO2 low ...

Most of us don’t spend that much time thinking about lightning. Every now and then we hear some miraculous news story about the man who just survived his fourth lightning strike, but aside from that ...

Florida is the state where lightning strikes, and it is more than twice. With summer bringing multiple thunderstorms weekly the chances for tree damage are quite possible. Lightning protection systems ...
