Multibody dynamic analysis of lightning protection systems for modern wind turbines

Modern wind turbines are increasing in size due to higher megawatt, reaching height of about 220 m with blade as long as 80 m moving with a tip velocity of 60-80 m/s. They are sometimes located offshore for better wind condition, bringing them closer to lightning, and the blade is mostly affected wh...
