The Dichotomy…
The wind turbine earthing system design calls for the Effective Earthing of Wind Turbine Generators, there begins the dichotomy…
Wind turbines generators, WTGs, often installed in electrically ‘difficult’ areas. Also, selecting the locations primarily for their airflows. Therefore, the location may appear good from a civils or planning perspective. However, very often quite remote from the energy networks. Positioned on high resistivity rocky ground, e.g. hills. Therefore, in these circumstances, ensuring that the wind turbine earthing design performs effectively is critical to protecting life. Additionally, it can be limiting when considering the types of earthing available for WTGs.
