ESE Lightning Protection for Rooftop Solar PV Systems

 

External lightning protection system design & installation is not a common practice for solar farms. The lightning protection of solar arrays by traditional franklin air terminals is still subject to concern regarding its effectiveness, shadow effect, installation cost, and appearance. As an alternative to the traditional franklin rod system, Early Streamer Emitter (ESE) type lightning air terminal may be utilized to protect rooftop solar pv systems and larger solar farm area.

 

LYRA ESE terminal provides large protection zones as per National French standard NF C 17-102 (2011). The principle of operation of LYRA ESE terminal is to create an upward propagating streamer earlier than conventional air terminals or other objects on the earth. Umbraeco-15 ESEAT does this by collecting and storing ground charge during the initial phase of a thunderstorm development. Once a thunderstorm begins creating downward step leaders, the ambient electric field intensity in the area of the ESE terminal increases. When thus electric field intensifies, it triggers the terminal to release the ground charge, forming an upward streamer microseconds earlier than other objects in the immediate area. This development of an upward streamer earlier in time and space ensures that the Umbraeco-1e ESE air terminal will be the target of the developing lightning strike.

 

This ESE configuration provides necessary protection zones, effectively dissipate the lightning energy to ground, and helps to insulate the solar panels and inverter/PVCS stations from damage. The other benefit of this system is that there will likely be significantly lower cost of labor, and material to install the entire system as compared to traditional franklin rod system.

ESE Lightning Protection System

The lightning air terminal shall be based on early streamer emission
(ESE) technology. The ESE air terminal should deliver a unique gain time in efficiency, anticipating the natural formation of an upward leader. The ESE air terminal generates a leader that propagates rapidly to capture the lightning stroke and conduct it towards the ground. Arcing is not to be continuous and shall only occur during the progress of the lightning leader.

SIRIUS ESE air terminals are externally mounted, proactive, structural lightning protection devices and are designed to activate in the moments directly preceding an imminent direct strike.
The installation of an ESE air terminal combines the best advantages of two systems the direct path to ground of a conventional lightning protection system, and state-of-the-art
ESE technology employed in the ESE internal design. These combined advantages ensure that the ESE provides a secure zone of protection.During thunderstorm conditions, when the lightning down leader is approaching ground level, an upward leader may be created by any level, an upward leader may be created by any surface.

In the case of a passive lightning rod, the upward leader propagates only after a long period of charge reorganization. In the case of an ESE air terminal, the initiation time of an
upward leader is greatly reduced. The ESE air terminal, generates controlled magnitude and frequency pulses at the tip of the terminal during high static fields prior to a lightning
discharge. This enables the creation of an upward leader from the terminal that propagates toward the downward leader coming from the thundercloud.This development of an upward streamer earlier in time and space ensures that the ESE terminal will be the target of the developing lightning strikes. The selection of the ESE model, placement, and mounting height above the protected area is to be done as per the project requirements.

Topbas Grup ESE Terminal has been extensively tested at an independent high-voltage laboratory in accordance with the revised 2011 requirements of French standard NF C 17-102. The testing, as defined in the standard, was designed to simulate naturally occurring conditions and allow comparison of the performance between differing types of lightning protection systems.

The test simulates natural field condition where a field impulse (form the downward leader approaching ground, simulated by a Impulse Generator with along front time) is superimposed onto a permanent field (from the charge between cloud and ground, simulated in the laboratory by a DC generator)The corona at the tip of the rod is measured by a photo-multiplier that enables the the determination of triggering time of both the simple rod air terminal (SRAT) and the ESEAT. The average value is then determined for both a simple rod and the ESEAT. T(SRAT) is then subtracted from T(ESEAT) to achieve the T advantage for the ESE air Termnals.

Extensive research and development has allowed TOPBAS GRUP (Turkey) to create a lightweight and low wind loading ESE system to provide a safe and efficient manner of controlling dangerous lightning energy before it damages structures or its important contents, including human occupants. By utilizing advanced technology, SIRIUS and IONIA ESE provide lightning protection to facilities that would otherwise be difficult or cost prohibitive to protect by conventional means.

The SIRIUS and IONIA ESE air terminals are externally mounted, proactive, structural lightning protection devices and are designed to activate in the moments directly preceding an imminent direct strike. The installation of a SIRIUS and IONIA ESE air terminal combines the best advantages of two systems: the direct path to ground of a conventional lightning protection system, and state-of-the-art ESE technology employed in the SIRIUS and IONIA internal design.

These combined advantages ensure that the SIRIUS and IONIA ESE System provides a secure zone of protection.SIRIUS and IONIA ESE are made of non-corrosive materials, utilize advance and sustainable technologies, maintain a 30 years warranty, and are independently tested and certified to NF C 17-102: 2011 standard. SIRIUS and IONIA ESE products protect the structures by capturing dangerous lightning discharges and safely channeling them to earth.
