  abstract  = {Dem Blitzschutz von Anlagen der regenerativen Energien kommt in Zukunft eine steigende Bedeutung zu. Dabei ist es notwendig zu ber{\"u}cksichtigen, dass die Schutzmaßnahmen technisch/wirtschaftlich ausgewogen sind. Erbauer, Besitzer oder Benutzer von netzautarken Hybridanlagen haben zu entscheiden, ob die Anlage einen Schutz braucht oder nicht. Um diese Entscheidung zu f{\"a}llen, ist eine Risikoanalyse als erster Schritt sinnvoll. Diese muss dabei die f{\"u}r die Hybridanlage relevanten Schadenarten und spezifischen Parameter, Werte und Randbedingungen mit einbeziehen. Dazu ist die Hilfe eines Blitzschutzexperten sehr hilfreich.},

  abstract  = {For typical cases of non-isolated lightning protection systems (LPS) the impulse currents are investigated which may flow through a human body directly touching a structural part of the LPS. Based on a basic LPS model with conventional down-conductors especially the cases of external and internal steel columns and metal fa{\c{c}}ades are considered and compared. Numerical simulations of the line quantities voltages and currents in the time domain are performed with an equivalent circuit of the entire LPS. As a result it can be stated that by increasing the number of conventional down-conductors and external steel columns the threat for a human being can indeed be reduced, but not down to an acceptable limit. In case of internal steel columns used as natural down-conductors the threat can be reduced sufficiently, depending on the low-resistive connection of the steel columns to the lightning equipotential bonding or the earth termination system, resp. If a metal fa{\c{c}}ade is used the threat for human beings touching is usually very low, if the fa{\c{c}}ade is sufficiently interconnected and multiply connected to the lightning equipotential bonding or the earth termination system, resp.},
