Abstract

An analysis of very fast front transient overvoltages, generated as a result of induced effects of lightning, across a photovoltaic plant is investigated. The EMTP-RV version 3.3 computer software platform is used to simulate surge voltage magnification. Selection and placement of surge arresters for effective protection of power transformers are conducted. Results show that selected arresters placed on bus 4 and coordinated with those placed on bus 5 and 3 ensure surge amplitude reduction of 33% on bus 4.
