Investigation of Wave Propagation to PV-Solar Panel Due to Lightning Induced Overvoltage
Abstract: Lightning produces
extremely high voltages that generated induce overvoltage which have a high
tendency to effect the electrical apparatus especially renewable energy plant
that directly expose to this source. This study was performed through
experimental work by investigating the effect of induce overvoltage upon the
photovoltaic system. The induce voltage was performed by using lightning
impulse generator. It is found that the maximum voltage of the unwanted signal
is proportional with the distant of the specimen. The closer distant between
solar panel material and spark discharge, the more serious effect would occur
due to the induced overvoltage.
