Lightning-induced transient effects in hybrid PV–wind system and its mitigation

Lightning strikes cause current injection into the hybrid PV–wind system at the point of contact. Overvoltage generated due to lightning travels along the system where it can affect expensive equipment in the hybrid PV–wind system. The literature review examines related previous works and identifies...
