ORNL researcher Vipin Kumar, an expert in lightning strike protection for airborne composites, inspects the wind turbine blade tip before he and his team remove it from a mold at DOE’s Carbon Fiber ...
Lightning protection in photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical area of study as these installations are increasingly exposed to atmospheric discharges that can substantially disrupt energy production ...
Electrical substations utilize direct lightning stroke shielding to help ensure proper operation, and to prevent costly damages and extended outages. While modern substation designs and equipment make ...
As the use of carbon fibre composites increases in aircraft manufacturing, so does the need for EMI shielding and lightning strike protection [1-4]. Lightning strike protection usually takes the form ...
