Wind energy is playing an increasingly important role among sustainable energy sources. However, ensuring the efficient operation and long lifespan of wind turbines requires a focus on safety. Natural events such as lightning strikes pose significant risks to turbines. This is where the drone-based Lightning Protection System (LPS) measurement system and automatic blade inspection, developed by OMI Innovation GmbH, come into play.
What is LPS and Why is It Important?
LPS is a safety system designed to protect wind turbines from lightning strikes. Lightning strikes can damage turbine blades and other critical components, which reduces turbine performance and leads to costly repairs. Thanks to LPS, these risks are minimized, ensuring the safe operation of turbines.
The OMI LPS measurement system allows for the fast and reliable detection of lightning before it can damage critical areas of the turbine. With this system, precise measurements continuously monitor the effectiveness of the lightning protection circuit, ensuring maximum safety.
