Lightning Protection Gap Electrode Ablation Simulation Research of Energy Storage Station.

Lightning is a common phenomenon of long-gap strong discharge in nature. It has the characteristics of high voltage, large current and fast current change rate. The direct or indirect impact of lighting will directly endanger the operation safety of energy storage stations. As the main channel of lightning discharge energy, the protective gap electrode is very easy to be ablated, which affects its life and protection performance. In this paper, by establishing a simulation model of electrode ablation, the influence of electrode material properties on the degree of electrode ablation is studied, which provides a reference for the selection of protective gap electrode materials.
