Upward lightning at wind turbines: Risk assessment from larger-scale meteorology
Isabell Stucke, Deborah Morgenstern, Thorsten Simon +5
Upward lightning (UL) has become an increasingly important threat to wind turbines as ever more of them are being installed for renewably producing electricity. The taller the wind…
