Especially in the season of frequent thunderstorms, lightning poses a serious threat to offshore wind turbines, which may cause equipment damage, fire, or even paralysis of the entire system. Existing lightning protection detection methods, such as manual tower segment measurement and cabinet grounding detection, can evaluate the lightning protection status of wind turbines to a certain extent, but these traditional methods have obvious limitations.

[0003] Specifically, manual inspection is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also requires professionals to climb to high places to perform measurement tasks. In addition, metal wires of tens or even hundreds of meters must be used during the measurement process, which not only increases the difficulty of the operation, but may also affect the measurement accuracy due to the physical limitations of the wires and environmental factors. For the ground resistance detection of blades, due to the high altitude and special shape of the blades, traditional methods can hardly cover it effectively. Even if you try to use drones to carry wires for blade tip contact measurement, it is difficult to widely use it in actual operation and maintenance due to the high complexity of the operation and strict technical requirements.
