Lightning strokes are considered the most common passively effective cause on the
photovoltaic (PV) power plants compared to the other internal faults. In this paper, a 1 MW …

Indirect Lightning Stroke (ILS) is considered an urgent issue on overall power systems due
to its sudden dangerous occurrence. A grid-connected solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plant …

Due to the large-scale installation of photovoltaic (PV) plants in open areas, PV plants is
exposed to lightning strike at a high risk. The influence of PV support on lightning transient …

Single horizontal and vertical grounding electrodes are often used for an earth connection of
the lightning protection system. However, there are many practical situations when such …

Indirect lightning strikes hitting near photovoltaic installations are much more frequent than
direct hits, and can generate overvoltage in their electric circuitry. The authors developed a …

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are installed in wide-open areas, and they are vulnerable to indirect
lightning strikes. The electronic devices in proximity may be damaged by the induced …

Lightning electromagnetic field will induce a high voltage on the photovoltaic (PV) farm and
also generate the eddy current. To study the effect of eddy current inside a PV module, the …

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are threatened by lightning strikes due to the wide-open installation
area. Lightning surges can not only damage the insulating structures of PV modules but also …

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are usually installed in open areas; hence, they are vulnerable to
lightning strikes that can result in cell degradation, complete damage, service disruption …

Due to installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels in outdoor areas, they are subjected to
lightning strikes which may cause degradation or complete damage, resulting in service …
