After studying the influences of lightning strikes on the PV system and modeling methods, it is mandatory to design a protection system for the PV system during lightning. The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption.
Lightning is one of the major threats to photovoltaic (PV) systems, due to their typically unsheltered installations. This problem is getting more and more relevant as installed systems with larger areas are getting common in response to the increased PV energy demand .
The performance of the LPS of grid-connected PV systems was evaluated with the focus on achieving the optimal design of LPS to protect the system from direct lightning strikes . Moreover, the surge potentials under the effect of separation distance, soil structure, and grounding systems were analyzed.
The lightning transient effects on PV arrays are studied based on the system modeling to assess the recommended LPS designs studied in the literature. The paper also gives some recommendations about the modeling methods and protection of PV systems during lightning strike. 1. Introduction
