Lightning protection and grounding standards for energy storage containers

4 FAQs about [Lightning protection and grounding standards for energy storage containers]

Do I need an external lightning protection system?

Therefore the need for optimized and reliable electrical protection against the influence of lightning and surge events becomes mandatory. A risk assessment per IEC 62305-2 should first be performed to understand better if an external lightning protection system (LPS) is required.

Do hydrocarbon storage tanks need lightning protection?

19. Hydrocarbon Storage Tanks Providing adequate and effective lightning protection for storage tanks constitutes a beneficial and cost-effective step in assuring both personnel safety and reliability. Fortunately, securing such protection is not difficult or complicated, and guidance is readily available.

Why do battery energy storage systems need grounding and bonding?

For grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), grounding and bonding is essential for safety and performance. The goal of grounding and bonding is to achieve customer-targeted resistance levels. These low resistance levels allow fault currents to easily discharge into the ground, protecting people, equipment and the BESS itself.

Can lightning be grounded with a low resistance return path?

It should be noted that, although adequate for lightning grounding, the path to ground may be high resistance, rendering it unsuitable for AC power grounding. In the event of an AC power ground fault, the lack of a low-resistance return path may leave the tank energized.
