6 FAQs about [Lightning protection for battery energy storage stations]

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.

How does a cascaded H-bridge converter-based battery energy storage system protect against lightning?

The lightning transients of cascaded H-bridge converter-based battery energy storage system (CHBC-BESS) are first studied. The reactor plays a key role in protecting the CHBC-BESS by reducing both the magnitude and steepness of lightning surge. The layout of CHBC-BESS within prefabricated cabins significantly influences the lightning transients.

Do you need a lightning protection system?

If you want to protect your investment, surge protection is not an option, it is a necessity, but if you want total protection and peace of mind, a lightning protection system can make the difference between the success and failure of large-scale solar power installations.

What happens when lightning strikes a storage system?

Distant lightning strikes or so-called indirect lightning strikes lead to conducted partial lightning currents (impulse waveform 10/350 μs) in the supply lines, or also to induced / capacitive couplings (impulse 8/20 μs) in the electronic components of the storage system itself (so-called LEMP = Lightning ElectroMagnetic Pulse) (Figure 1).

What are surge protective devices (SPDs) in battery energy storage systems?

Surge protective devices (SPDs) is required in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) BESS systems contain AC/DC converters and battery banks implemented in concrete constructions or in metallic containers.

What is a battery storage system?

Battery storage systems store excess energy produced by Renewable Energy systems such as PV or Wind and store it for use when needed. This counterbalances the fluctuation between energy production and demand for electricity.
