NOVELTY - The wind turbine LPS (10) comprises a glass-reinforced fiber/carbon-reinforced wind turbine blade (14) having tip portion (12) adapted with electric field control region to increase emission of lightning streamers and leaders. The electric field control region made of sheet metal, metal mesh, flexible foil, ceramic, polymeric and conductively doped coating is communicated with down-conductor (20). The electric field control region and down-conductor are operated to protect wind turbine blade from damage by controlling electric field at tip portion.    USE - Lightning protection system (LPS) for protecting wind turbine.    ADVANTAGE - The size of the receptor on blade surface due to full or partial coverage of rotor blade surface coating is enhanced. No significant increase in blade weight is observed. The LPS is flexible to all mechanical blade dynamics. No change in blade-design required. The usage of additional material in control region is lowered so that manufacturing cost is reduced. Decrease of current density will lead to lower thermal loads on the blade materials. Enhanced lightning reception efficiency with diverter technology on the blade surface due to partial or full coverage of conductive or semi-conductive coating/materials. The lightning streamer is conducted over safe path before the flashover of breakdown impulse current is occurred. The breakdown is avoided and rotor blade damage is avoided by decreasing the surface impedance of LPS. The lightning protection efficiency for wind turbine blades is increased. The rotor blade surface is protected effectively. The reinforced conductive paths for a lightning current are improved. The electric field strength distribution is controlled during the lightning attachment process along the rotor blade.
