CA 2741147

The invention provides a lightning protection system for a wind turbine blade via charge initiation (Charge Initiated Lightning Protection, CILP). The lightning protection system comprises at least one electric charge generator for generating electric charge at a lightning receptor of the wind turbine blade such that an electrostatic field is generated at the lightning receptor leading lightning current directly to the lightning receptor. Additionally the invention provides a wind turbine blade having at least one such lightning protection system. The Charge Initiated Lightning Protection system is an efficient and easy way for protecting a wind turbine blade from the effect of a lightning stroke. Just by rotating the wind turbine blade electric charge can be concentrated at the lightning receptor guiding the lightning current and avoiding the puncture of the blade surface of the wind turbine blade as a result of a lightning stroke.
