  • Abstract
    Wind power farms are prone to lightning due to their height, especially when installed off-shore. Very different voltage stresses are expected compared to three phase power systems. Test standards, technical specifications and application principles have been developed only recently on CENELEC level. A brief introduction of different new standards is given, with special consideration to wind power installations.
