Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning protection device technology, specifically to a lightning protection device for reducing grounding resistance of photovoltaic lines. Background Technology

[0002] Lightning strikes are one of the major accidents in power systems, and substations are the hubs of these systems, bearing the crucial responsibility of supplying power to the grid. Because substations are directly connected to overhead lines, and the insulation level of these lines is higher than that of the electrical equipment within the substation, the amplitude of lightning strikes traveling along these lines to the substation is also very high. Without adequate protection facilities, the insulation of the main transformer or other electrical equipment within the substation may be damaged. Once a lightning strike occurs at a substation, damaging equipment, it can cause widespread power outages, resulting in significant losses and disruptions to production and daily life, with extremely serious consequences. Therefore, lightning protection for substations must be prioritized, and lightning protection measures must be highly reliable.

[0003] Currently, traditional photovoltaic substation lightning protection systems have at least the following drawbacks in actual use: traditional lightning protection measures for photovoltaic systems are not comprehensive or thorough. For example, they only protect the photovoltaic support components of the photovoltaic system from lightning, or they use a single type of lightning protection component, which poses safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the aforementioned advantages of comprehensive resistance reduction and lightning protection, and to reduce safety hazards, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A photovoltaic line grounding resistance reduction and lightning protection device includes a site, a photovoltaic system, and lightning protection components. The photovoltaic system is installed at the center of the site, and a resistance-reducing soil strip is buried around the photovoltaic system. A main grounding grid is laid on the top surface of the resistance-reducing soil strip, and grounding leads are connected at multiple points on the inner side of the main grounding grid. The grounding leads are connected to the photovoltaic system through stainless steel piercing plates, and the grounding leads are crisscrossed to form a mesh structure. The main grounding grid is composed of multiple parallel graphene grounding strips, and a grounding lower body is welded to the bottom of the main grounding grid. The grounding lower body is buried deep in the resistance-reducing soil strip. Several lightning protection components are arranged around the resistance-reducing soil strip, and each lightning protection component is fixedly connected to the site. Each lightning protection component contains a grounding cable connected to the main grounding grid.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower part of the lightning protection component is provided with a hollow column, and the top of the hollow column is interference-connected with a vertical lightning rod. The bottom of the vertical lightning rod is welded and installed with a grounding cable, and the grounding cable is connected to the grounding lead of the main grounding grid. A horizontal lightning rod is welded and installed on the surface of the vertical lightning rod, and the horizontal lightning rod is set towards the photovoltaic system.

[0007] Furthermore, a pre-buried pit is provided inside the soil strip corresponding to the grounding lead, and the depth of the pre-buried pit is 2.5-3 meters.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the hollow column is provided with a lead hole corresponding to the grounding cable, and several mounting blocks are welded around the side of the hollow column.

[0009] Furthermore, the material of the resistance-reducing soil strip is conductive concrete or with added salt, and the area of ​​the resistance-reducing soil strip is larger than the area of ​​the main grounding grid.

It is reliably connected to the photovoltaic system via multi-point grounding leads, dispersing lightning current distribution. Graphene grounding strips are used as the main grounding grid material, with multiple strips connected in parallel to reduce resistivity. Graphene's conductivity and corrosion resistance are superior to traditional steel, reducing contact resistance. Furthermore, the main grounding grid is connected to the photovoltaic system via a mesh-like arrangement of grounding leads, and is laid on top of a rectangular resistance-reducing soil strip. The main grounding grid is also installed within a pre-buried pit in the resistance-reducing soil strip via grounding leads. This combination of low-resistivity soil and resistance-reducing agent-filled soil strip expands the current dissipation range and improves current dissipation efficiency.

[0012] This invention improves the lightning protection effect and comprehensiveness of the photovoltaic system by installing several lightning protection components around the main grounding grid. Each component consists of a hollow column, a vertical lightning rod, a horizontal lightning rod, and a grounding cable. The hollow column increases the installation height and expands the protection range. The combination of vertical and horizontal lightning rods enhances the lightning interception effect.
