Lightning strikes are among the most common causes of shutdowns. As such, they constitute a phenomenon that proves extremely costly to wind turbine owners, increasing their OPEX and thus their Cost of Energy (CoE), if the wrong solution for protecting the turbine is chosen.
Customized Lightning Protection Systems in accordance with IEC 61400-24, Second edition
Our comprehensive range of engineering and production skills in the field of lightning protection have made us the wind turbine industry’s preferred partner in this area.
We simulate, develop, design, test, and manufacture Lightning Protection Systems (LPS), as well as associated components and solutions, to match individual specifications, wishes and requirements. This ensures you optimal peace of mind and a customized solution that is in accordance with the latest standard (IEC 61400-24, Second edition).
On request, we can also handle the entire development project, from initial specifications to final delivery. Most often, however, development takes place in the form of close and confidential sparring with your own development department. In such cases, we draw on the latest digital tools to ensure a process that is both flexible and secure.
Complete value chain
Our customized Lightning Protection Systems are created through a unique combination of:
All our solutions satisfy the latest standard (IEC 61400-24, Second edition), where the test requirements have been intensified and made mandatory, in contrast to the previous “informative” test sections.
