Abstract

This paper aims to represent when the primary lightning protection is not necessary for a photovoltaic power plant with a special dimension if the different security objects are not negligible during the probability and risk calculations. The calculations were made using the Probability Modulated Attractive Volume theory which is capable of special, complicated, or huge structures and objects like a high-performance photovoltaic park.
