EMP Solutions, Inc. unveils
newest lightning prevention solution for the growing Wind Turbine
Industry.
ATLANTA, GA -- September 24, 2015 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- EMP Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EMPS)
has unveiled a lightning prevention solution for the Wind Turbine
Industry that protects all the components of a wind turbine from
direct and indirect lightning strikes.
The solution, which incorporates between One and Three HALO
units per turbine, protects the Base, Tower, Nacelle and Blades.
Blade damage is, by far, the most expensive and disruptive damage
caused by lightning but damage to the control system is far more
common, according to the National Fire Protection Association
handbook. While strikes directly to the blades can result in the
immediate explosion of expanding gas within the blade, much of the
damage goes undetected and can result in a shortened service life.
Other common damage caused by lightning strikes includes damage to
the control system, switchgear elements, generators and batteries.
According to one study, lightning strikes account for 80% of all
insurance claims on wind turbines.
SUMMARY OF PROTECTION
The HALO PDCE Lightning Suppression system takes into account
geographical area, tower height, blade dimensions and other
critical factors to mitigate damage by deionizing the electrical
field created by the natural environment as well as the turbine
itself. As an alternative to traditional lightning protection, the
HALO PDCE System offers a long-term solution to the Wind Power
Industry that has both a warranty and a no strike guarantee,
protecting owners, operators, workers and insurance companies from
losses.
MARKET SIZE
According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) there are
over 1,000 utility-scale wind projects in the United States
totaling more than 49,000 Wind Turbines.
EMP Solutions, Inc. is excited to introduce this technology to
the Wind Industry and hopes it assists in their ability to grow,
increase output, safety and reliability and while reducing costs
associated with lightning damage.

Suppressor and how it can protect wind turbine installations please
