The interception of wind turbine lightning receptor type and radius to electrical field

Wind turbines are considered one of the tallest buildings vulnerable to lightning strikes as they lack a protection system for large-scale carbon-fibre epoxy composite structures. Blades are more affected by lightning due to their large scale, which is the highest point in wind turbine structure. Kn...
