Abstract
As wind power generation undergoes rapid growth, lightning damages involving wind turbines have come to be regarded with more attention. Electric and magnetic fields generated by lightning represent a serious hazard to wind turbines. A new case study is presented with two interconnected wind turbines, considering that lightning strikes directly the blade of one wind turbine. Computer simulations obtained by using EMTP-RV are presented and conclusions are duly drawn.
