The impact of lightning strike to multi‐blade on the lightning overvoltage and stresses of arresters in offshore wind farm
Abstract This paper establishes a complete lightning overvoltage simulation of an offshore wind farm, considering the electromagnetic effects including the blade, the tower and the power cable based on transmission‐line theory. And the influences of grounding schemes of the power cable inside the to...
