TY - JOUR A1 - Kern, Alexander A1 - Krichel, Frank T1 - Überlegungen zum Blitzschutzkonzept für regenerative Energieanlagen N2 - Dem Blitzschutz von Anlagen der regenerativen Energien kommt in Zukunft eine steigende Bedeutung zu. Dabei ist es notwendig zu berücksichtigen, 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 fällen, ist eine Risikoanalyse als erster Schritt sinnvoll. Diese muss dabei die für die Hybridanlage relevanten Schadenarten und spezifischen Parameter, Werte und Randbedingungen mit einbeziehen. Dazu ist die Hilfe eines Blitzschutzexperten sehr hilfreich.

T1 - Application problems of the probabilistic approach to the assessment of risk for structures and services N2 - The paper deals with the development of the probabilistic approach to the assessment of risk due to lightning. Sources of damage, types of damage and types of loss are defined and, accordingly, the procedure for risk analysis and the way of assessment of different risk components is proposed. The way to evaluate the influence of different protection measures (lightning protection system; shielding of structure, cables and equipment; routing of internal wiring; surge protective device) in reducing such probabilities is considered. The paper has been prepared within the framework of the activity of IEC TC81-WG9/CLC TC81-WG4 directed to prepare the draft IEC 62305-2 Risk Management, in cooperation with the Secretary of IEC/CLC TC81.

Based on a risk analysis protection measures against direct strikes and overvoltages are shown in an overview. The design concept is realized exemplarily for the hybrid-system VATALI on the Greek island Crete. VATALI, not lightning protected at that time, was a victim of a lightning strike in the year 2000 causing destructions and damages of some mechanical and electrical components with costs of approx. 60.000 €. The hardware costs for the protection measures were about 15.000 €: about 50% of the costs are due to protection measures against direct strikes, 50% are due to overvoltage protection.

T1 - Laboratory simulation of direct lightning strokes to a modelled building - measurement of magnetic fields and induced voltages N2 - In IEC 61312-2 equations for the assessment of the magnetic fields inside structures due to a direct lightning strike are given. These equations are based on computer simulations for shields consisting of a single-layer steel grid of a given mesh width. Real constructions, however, contain at least two layers of reinforcement steel grids. The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the additional shielding effectiveness of a second reinforcement layer compared to a single-layer grid. To this end, simulated structures were set up in the high current laboratory. The structures consisted of cubic cages of 2 m side length with one or with two reinforcement grids, respectively. The structures were exposed to direct lightning currents representing the variety of anticipated lightning current waveforms. The magnetic fields and their derivatives at several positions inside the structure as well as the voltage between “floor” and “roof” in the center were determined for different current injection points. From these data the improvement of the shielding caused by a second reinforcement layer is derived.
