This updated, three-day course will cover lightning interaction and effects and damage mechanisms on wind turbines, including especially the blades, and turbine electronics instrumentation control systems. The course includes an explanation of the most recent updates of the wind turbine blades manufactured of composite materials including carbon, and the process for integration of other electrical/electronic systems into blades, such as anti-ice, aerodynamic controls, and lighting. The course includes laboratory demonstrations of some of the standard test methods and examples of numerical simulations of lightning interactions with blades.
