Lightning protection system of wind turbine blades formed by various
connections arranged on carbon fibre laminates (2) of the blade (1),
equipotentialising the surface of the airfoils (4) of the beam (10) via
derivations from a main cable (6) using the respective auxiliary cables
(5). The auxiliary cables are connected to metal plates (3) which make
the direct connection with the carbon fibre laminates (2) and are
positioned during the blade (1) laminating and curing process, or they
are connected to metal pins, preferably cone shaped, which pass through
the hybrid laminate. Around the connections a nanocomposite based
conductive resin (11) is arranged. In the case of a hybrid laminate with
layers of carbon fibre and layers of fibre glass, the equipotential state
of the different layers is achieved using windows, discontinuities or
open spaces in the fibreglass layers.
