Wind Farms

Wind turbines are installed on high ground such as windy coastlines, hills and mountain ridges — areas prone to frequent lightning strikes. Situated at elevated locations with no taller surrounding structures, wind turbines are highly vulnerable to lightning impact.

Wind turbine units represent the most valuable assets within a wind farm, accounting for over 60% of total wind power project investment. Once struck by lightning (especially damage to critical components including turbine blades and generators), operators will suffer dual losses: lost power generation revenue during downtime, plus substantial costs for disassembly, replacement and transportation of damaged parts. Additional delays arise from electrical system maintenance, component ordering and logistics cycles.

For this reason, lightning and overvoltage protection for wind turbines is critical.

In response to the lightning protection demands of wind power facilities, REAZY delivers an integrated lightning protection solution:

1. Custom-engineered earthing systems for wind turbines. Adopting non-metallic grounding modules and interconnected earth grid technology to ensure the grounding resistance meets design specifications.
2. Specialized lightning air terminals tailored for wind farm lightning protection.
3. Surge protection schemes for internal turbine equipment, implementing proper cable routing, equipotential bonding and electromagnetic shielding technologies.
4. Installation of dedicated Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) for all systems and equipment onboard wind turbines.
