    Abstract: Rotor blade assemblies for wind turbines are provided. A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade. In some embodiments, the rotor blade assembly further includes a surface feature configured on an exterior surface of the rotor blade, the surface feature having an exterior mounting surface. At least a portion of the exterior mounting surface has a contour in an uninstalled state that is different from a curvature of the exterior surface of the rotor blade at a mount location of the surface feature on the rotor blade. In other embodiments, the rotor blade assembly further includes a seal member surrounding at least a portion of a perimeter of the surface feature. The seal member contacts and provides a transition between the exterior surface and the surface feature.

    Abstract: A system and associated method for detecting lighting strikes on a wind turbine uses a plurality of lightning strike conductors that are connected to any combination of the wind turbine components. A common ground cable is connected to the conductors and to a wind turbine grounding system. A sensor is operatively configured on the common ground cable to detect current flowing through the cable from a lightning strike incident on any one of the receptors, with the sensor producing a signal proportional to the intensity of the lightning strike.
