Upward Lightning at Wind Turbines: Risk Assessment From Larger-Scale Meteorology. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Atmos, 2023 AbstractUpward lightning (UL) has become a major threat to the growing number of wind turbines producing renewable electricity. It can be much more destructive than downward lightning due to the large charge transfer involved in the discharge process.
