This paper explained the basic concept of lightning protection design for wind power generation facilities common to onshore and offshore facilities, and described the points to be considered in offshore wind power. There is concern that the offshore WF sea area will become a hotspot for lightning, but it is difficult to accurately judge whether this is true or not at this time. The current blade sanity check process could pose a bigger problem for offshore WF from the view point of a risk management perspective. Regarding issues related to accessibility, it is important to develop technologies related to remote monitoring and automated driving and establish related laws so as not to significantly impair the business viability of offshore wind power generation.
