6 FAQs about [Lightning protection design standards for energy storage containers]
Do hydrocarbon storage tanks need lightning protection?
19. Hydrocarbon Storage Tanks Providing adequate and effective lightning protection for storage tanks constitutes a beneficial and cost-effective step in assuring both personnel safety and reliability. Fortunately, securing such protection is not difficult or complicated, and guidance is readily available.
How to protect high-end electronics in storage containers?
In addition, battery storage for the power grid forms the basis for energy management (so-called “peak shaving”). In order to provide optimum protection for the high-end electronics in storage containers, one needs a comprehensive lightning and surge protection system.
What is a lightning protection system?
A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.
Which external lightning protection measures are required?
A risk analysis according to IEC 62305-2 is carried out to determine which external lightning protection measures are required, for example, which class of LPS needs to be considered in the planning and implemented in the lightning protection concept.
Do I need an external lightning protection system?
Therefore the need for optimized and reliable electrical protection against the influence of lightning and surge events becomes mandatory. A risk assessment per IEC 62305-2 should first be performed to understand better if an external lightning protection system (LPS) is required.
What makes a lightning Tank Self-Protecting?
On a tank, the tank itself is of sufficient thickness to be substituted for the lightning rods, the shell is of adequate cross section to be substituted as the conductor system, and the site ground is more than adequate for lightning protection purposes. Therefore, the tank is self-protecting without the need to install additional components.
