Abstract：The alpine areas like the eastern Inner Mongolia and the northeast of China, which have abundant reserves of wind energy resources, have taken on construction of wind power generation in large-scale trend. In recent years, lightning disasters have become a main factor threatening the safe operation of wind turbines, resulting in long-term restriction to normal development of wind power industry. Due to the significant geographical and environmental characteristics in alpine areas, the standards and measures for lightning protection of equipment in alpine areas are quite different from those in other areas. Therefore, it is necessary to pay high attention to lightning protection for wind turbines in alpine areas. In this paper, based on the characteristics of wind turbines, geographical environment and lightning conditions in alpine areas, the lightning strike characteristics of wind turbines in alpine areas were summarized. The research status of lightning protection system, lightning leader’s inception and development, lightning direct strike damage and lightning electromagnetic transient process of wind turbines in alpine areas was introduced as well. Finally, combined with the problems to be solved, several research fields of lightning protection for wind turbines in alpine areas were put forward.
