Abstract EN
An efficient method is proposed in this paper for calculating lightning transient responses on wind turbine towers.
In the proposed method, the actual tower body is simplified as a multiconductor grid in the shape of cylinder.
A set of formulas are given for evaluating the circuit parameters of the branches in the multiconductor grid.
On the basis of the circuit parameters, the multiconductor grid is further converted into an equivalent circuit.
The circuit equation is built in frequency-domain to take into account the effect of the frequency-dependent characteristic of the resistances and inductances on lightning transients.
The lightning transient responses can be obtained by using the discrete Fourier transform with exponential sampling to take the inverse transform of the frequency-domain solution of the circuit equation.
A numerical example has been given for examining the applicability of the proposed method.
