36 COMSOL NEWS Lightning Technologies, an NTS company, is a world leader in the design and validation of sophisticated lightning protection systems for the aerospace industry, including aircraft, space vehicles, and launch facilities. They also developed systems for wind turbine farms, industrial complexes, golf courses, theme parks, and other high-risk locations. Engineers at NTS are actively involved in the committees that form the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) , which define the lightning levels and situations that blades must endure. Industry regulations such as IEC 62305 require wind turbine manufacturers to incorporate lightning protection designs into their blades. For maximum protection, it’s essential to know how much lightn
