LIGHTNING COUNTER AND DETECTION SYSTEM FOR WIND TURBINES

LIGHTNING STRIKES ON WIND TURBINES ARE UNDER CONTROL WITH PROLEC WIND

Wind power plants stand out as the areas most frequently exposed to lightning due to their locations. However, if we do not bring lightning under control, we cannot take the right precautions against possible future scenarios, and we cannot choose our protection systems correctly. In addition, we have to keep lightning impulses under control for business management, transferring the issue to insurance companies, and the correct operation of many procedures. With the detailed lightning counting system developed for Prolec Wind Wind Turbines, developed by Raycap and applied by Yılkomer engineers in our country, our facilities are under control. A lightning impulse can hit a blade and create hairline cracks; if not checked, serious damage can occur. With Prolec Wind, you instantly notice the lightning striking the blade. Even if the system seems to be working at that moment, you can prevent possible breakages in the long run. Wind Turbine Lightning Counter and Detection System. Basically, if we look at the Prolec Wind system,

*Transmits information of the lightning striking the blade instantly.

*Lightning is measured as kiloampere and voltage value at its peak point.

*Provides simple and fast mounting opportunity.

*Offers wireless communication.

*One sensor collects data within a 5km range.

*Offers customization options for every turbine blade brand.

*The system developed in 2016 is used in many facilities in Finland, Greece, France, and Italy.

*Many lightning impulses lose their effect downwards after striking at the blade level. Since Prolec Wind detects on the blades, it offers us the most accurate measurement.

*With the LoRa Network system, you can monitor all turbines 24 hours a day on stormy days via special software.

Prolec Wind is an advanced lightning detection and recording system for wind turbines; it records the highest impulse and presents you with kiloampere, voltage, date, and time information. Significant operating cost savings are achieved with Prolec Wind, which allows you to easily understand whether lightning has struck the blades after stormy days without planning special maintenance. In addition, possible effects are determined instantly, especially in lightning impulses exceeding 200kA, and clear evidence will be presented for insurance companies.

As the Lightning Protection Center, we are sure that the PROLEC WIND Lightning counting system, for which we provide process management and system supply, will benefit you. For more detailed information, you can reach us at info@yilkomer.com.
