In this paper, an assessment is provided on the influence of lightning peak amplitude distributions on wind turbines (WTs) in the Adriatic hinterland. It investigates the impact of various probability distributions (including Gaussian, Poisson, and logarithmic distributions) on the equivalent exposure area using a fixed radius. Additionally, the study evaluates how different radiuses affect the equivalent exposure area under a fixed probability distribution. By comparing the actual number of lightning strikes with the theoretical number of lightning strikes, the area struck by lightning each year can be estimated. In addition, the bypass events in the area can be calculated based on the efficiency of the lightning protection system (LPS) to protect the wind turbines. The lightning protection area is also calculated according to the International Electrotechnical Commission standard (IEC) 62305-3.
