IEC TR 63227:2020 deals with the protection of PV power supply systems against detrimental effects of lightning strikes and surge voltages of atmospheric origin. In the event that a lightning and/or surge voltage. . In this paper, the performance of a lightning protection system (LPS) on a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) park is studied by simulating different scenarios with the use of an appropriate software tool. Some countries' building regulations require that public build-ings (e. places of public assembly, schools and hospitals) be equipped with a lightning protection system. Similar NFPA documents like the National Electrical Code (NEC – NFPA 70), National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54), and Uniform Fire Code. . Photovoltaic (PV) plants are composed of many panels supported on large metal structures, located in open areas and normally highly exposed to the electrostatic perturbations caused by lightning.
