[0003] Lightning is a strong discharge phenomenon in nature. In modern life, lightning still threatens forests, ignites pyrotechnics, causes loss of human life and property, and has a significant impact on many sectors of national defense and the national economy, such as aviation, aerospace, communications, electricity, and construction.

[0004] The current lightning protection detection methods and equipment in the wind power field are specifically designed for wind turbines, and cannot provide efficient fault warnings and reduce the probability of damage to wind turbines, which reduces the practical effect of the system. Therefore, a wind power generation lightning protection monitoring system is proposed. Summary of the invention
