IEC 61400-24 Wind Power Generation Systems, Part 24: Standard Test for Lightning Protection

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 61400-24 standard. IEC 61400-24 applies to lightning protection of wind turbine generators and wind power systems.

IEC 61400-24 Wind Power Generation Systems, Part 24: Standard Test for Lightning Protection

This standard defines the lightning environment for wind turbines and the risk assessment for wind turbines in this environment. It defines the requirements for the protection of blades, other structural components, and electrical and control systems against both the direct and indirect effects of lightning.

Test methods are included to verify compatibility. Guidance is provided on the use of EMC standards, including applicable lightning protection, industrial electrical and grounding.

The lightning environment for wind turbines is defined in IEC 62305-1 in terms of lightning current parameter values ​​to be used for sizing, analysis and testing of lightning protection systems.

Wind turbines are tall structures and are often placed in such a way that they are highly exposed to lightning. It has long been recognized that wind turbines should be protected from lightning, as a precaution against economic losses from damage and loss of income, as a way to protect against hazards to living things (primarily service personnel) and to reduce necessary maintenance costs.
