Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition, the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the superior modeling methods of PV systems during lightning strikes.
After studying the influences of lightning strikes on the PV system and modeling methods, it is mandatory to design a protection system for the PV system during lightning. The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption.
The influences of the lightning current waveform, soil resistivity, and height of the tower on the lightning transient overvoltage in the PV system are discussed. Both scenarios studied above (lightning strikes to the transmission line and strikes to the tower) are considered.
The lightning transient effects on PV arrays are studied based on the system modeling to assess the recommended LPS designs studied in the literature. The paper also gives some recommendations about the modeling methods and protection of PV systems during lightning strike. 1. Introduction
