As the use of carbon fibre composites increases in aircraft manufacturing, so does the need for EMI shielding and lightning strike protection [1-4]. Lightning strike protection usually takes the form ...

ORNL researcher Vipin Kumar, an expert in lightning strike protection for airborne composites, inspects the wind turbine blade tip before he and his team remove it from a mold at DOE’s Carbon Fiber ...

It’s a safe bet that lightning is going to strike twice around Vipin Kumar. In fact, he makes sure it does – every time he tests new technology to protect sky-high wind turbine blades. As a researcher ...

Researchers in Germany assessed lightning risks in livestock-integrated agrivoltaic systems, identifying key injury ...

Scientists in the Emirates have developed a novel lightning mast layout that reportedly eliminates shading effect on PV panels. The proposed approach also addresses earth grid requirements under ...

The share of wind power in total electric power generation is expected to increase, and with that comes a requirement for this carbon-free source to be more reliable. The most important component of a ...
