Static and Lightning Protection System (SLPS) | Advanced Lightning Protection

At AP Renewables, we understand the challenges faced by wind turbine operators, especially when it comes to lightning damage and static interference. That’s why we’ve developed the Static and Lightning Protection System (SLPS), an innovative solution designed specifically for Siemens Gamesa wind turbines.

What is SLPS?

The SLPS is a state-of-the-art lightning protection system that not only safeguards your wind turbines from lightning strikes but also optimizes their performance. By reducing electrical interference caused by static and improving the overall turbine efficiency, SLPS helps you unlock the true potential of your wind energy investments.

Why Choose SLPS?

  1. Increased Annual Energy Production (AEP):
    Turbine operators using SLPS report an average increase of 1.8% in AEP, thanks to improved turbine performance and reduced downtime caused by lightning-related disruptions.

  2. Comprehensive Lightning Protection:
    SLPS is engineered to handle high-intensity lightning strikes, protecting the turbine’s key components like blades, nacelle, and control systems from damage.

  3. Tailored for Siemens Gamesa Turbines:
    Our solution is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Siemens Gamesa turbines, ensuring compatibility and maximum effectiveness.

  4. Enhanced Durability and Reliability:
    By minimizing wear and tear caused by lightning and static, SLPS extends the operational lifespan of your turbines, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

How SLPS Works

  • Advanced Lightning Dispersion:
    SLPS efficiently channels lightning energy away from the turbine, preventing damage to critical components.
  • Static Charge Management:
    By neutralizing static build-up, SLPS ensures smoother turbine operations and reduced mechanical stress.
  • Seamless Integration:
    The system is easy to install and designed to work without interfering with turbine performance.
