Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the lightning protection model of a photovoltaic power plant, which is of great importance, in order to guarantee the smooth work of the system and avoid errors and damage to the equipment.
Lightning protection in PV systems involves installing specialized equipment to capture and safely dissipate electrical surges from lightning strikes. This helps prevent catastrophic damage to sensitive electrical components, such as inverters and charge controllers. The Role of Grounding in PV Safety and Performance
Since a free-standing photovoltaic power plant is a specific facility due to its geometry, function, and location on the surface of a water reservoir, such a general approach will not always lead to the selection of the optimal method of lightning and surge protection.
Despite the technical advances, no equipment can prevent the occurrence of lightning. Therefore, an effective protection system against lightning and transient overvoltages is one of the basic requirements of PV power systems to significantly increase their efficiency and reduce maintenance time and spare parts cost.
