Direct lightning strike hit to runway or taxiway may cause massive blackout and equipment damage even for hundreds of light fixtures and transformers. EFLA Sheriff surge protection device (SPD) to secondary circuit protects airfield ground lighting equipments and system from damages upon lightning strike.
Harger has long been one of the leading providers of structural lightning protection for commercial buildings. In fact, some of the world's tallest structures such as the Willis (Sears) Tower, 875 N. Michigan Ave. (John Hancock) and the Aon Center (Amoco Oil) in Chicago are protected with Harger systems.
However, since these types of buildings are more extensive and complex than residential, so too will be the lightning protection system. In addition, once the height of the building exceeds 75' above grade, the required cables and components become significantly larger and heavier.
Depending on the region, a mid-size airport can be hit by up to 2000 lightning strikes per year on the aircraft maneuvering and movement areas. Direct lightning strike hit to runway or taxiway may cause massive blackout and equipment damage even for hundreds of light fixtures and transformers.
A Practice Note discussing financing structures and revenue strategies for battery energy storage systems (BESS). This Note explains how project sponsors can monetize BESS projects, which store electricity during periods of high supply and release it when demand is high. It examines various offtake. .
