Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for clean energy continues to grow, wind energy has been widely used and developed rapidly around the world. As a key component of wind turbines, blades are at high risk of being struck by lightning. The installed capacity of my country's wind power generation system continues to increase. The 18-megawatt offshore wind turbines independently developed have a wind rotor diameter of 260 meters. As the diameter increases, the probability of lightning strikes increases exponentially, and the difficulty and cost of protection increase exponentially.

[0003] When a wind turbine blade is struck by lightning, the lightning current will be conducted inside the blade. Wind turbine blades are mostly made of glass fiber composite materials. This material cannot conduct and disperse the lightning current under the action of lightning current. The current accumulates locally, causing the material to be damaged by burning, ablation, delamination, cracking, etc. The lightning damage to the wind turbine blades affects its performance and may even cause the wind turbine system to shut down and the entire machine to burn out. The lightning damage rate in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places in my country is as high as 9.8 times / (100 units / year). The average maintenance cost of each wind turbine blade is more than 150,000 yuan, and severely damaged blades need to be replaced with new ones, causing serious economic losses.
