Description

A systematic approach to the economic evaluation of lightning protection measures for wind turbine generating stations has been developed and applied by a major wind turbine manufacturer and wind project developer. The methodology utilizes the application of basic and generally accepted lightning protection principles to allow for performance of payback analyses of lightning protection measures on a site specific basis. In this way, capital investment and maintenance resources may be directed to the measures with the greatest potential returns. (au)
