Abstract

In recent years, as global warming advances, countermeasures for reducing gases of various greenhouse are needed. One of the countermeasures is a power generation using renewable energy that does not emit greenhouse gases. In particular, wind power generation is attracting attention due to its low cost compared to power generation using other renewable energies. However, as wind turbines become larger and the number of wind turbine increases, the probability of lightning strikes increases, it is important to establish more reliable lightning damage countermeasures. In response to this situation, the "Interpretation of Technical Standards for wind turbines" was revised in 2015 in Japan, installation of lightning detection systems to accurately detect lightning strikes and automatically shut down the wind turbine have been obligated in wind turbines in winter lightning regions in coastal regions in Japan. In addition, the performance of lightning detection systems has been improved by the results of recent research, and the systems with high detection accuracy are widely used in the market. In this study, we report the results of investigating the characteristics of lightning strikes using lightning data on approximately 450 wind turbines along the coast of Japan.

日本风力涡轮机的雷击特征

近年来，随着全球变暖的加剧，需要采取减少各种温室气体的对策。对策之一就是利用不排放温室气体的可再生能源发电。其中，风力发电因其成本低于其他可再生能源发电而备受关注。然而，随着风力涡轮机的大型化和数量的增加，发生雷击的概率也随之增大，因此制定更加可靠的雷击损害对策非常重要。针对这种情况，日本于 2015 年修订了《风力发电机组技术标准解释》，日本沿海地区冬季雷电多发地区的风力发电机组有义务安装雷电探测系统，以准确探测雷击并自动关闭风力发电机组。此外，雷电检测系统的性能也因近期的研究成果而得到提高，检测精度高的系统在市场上得到广泛应用。在本研究中，我们报告了利用日本沿海地区约 450 台风轮机的雷电数据调查雷击特征的结果。

期刊介绍： Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview. • Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation. • Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design. • Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems. • Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids. • The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques. • Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
