In recent years, a wind turbine generator system is expected as one of clean energies to solve energy resources and global environmental problems. Those systems are installed in places with a strong wind. However, those places have also many winter lightning, which cause heavy damage to electric power facilities. Especially, these system in dozen of meter height are facing to severe problems such as an outage of the electric power and a maintenance check against lightning damage. In order to supply the stable energy, it is necessary to set up a lightning protection of the system. So, we developed the large diameter Rogowski coil, which can surround the steel pipe of the leg, and proved the performance by experiment. And using this Rogowski coil, we observed lightning current in some wind turbine generator systems in Japan. As the results of these observations, we got some observation data of lightning current, which struck the wind turbine generator system. This paper reports these observation techniques and results.
