    Abstract: A wind turbine blade is described having a lightning protection system, wherein the lightning protection system is arranged to protect conductive elements or modules used in or on the blade. In one aspect, the lightning protection system comprises a conductive band to be arranged around the circumference of the blade at the location of an internal conductive module, to prevent a lightning strike from penetrating the blade and potentially damaging the internal module. In another aspect, the lightning protection system comprises a lightning down-conductor having a signal-carrying structure, e.g. a signal cable, power cable, or a waveguide, integrated into the down-conductor. In a further aspect, the lightning protection system comprises at least one lightning receptor arranged to protect externally-mounted antennas from lightning strikes.

    Abstract: A wind turbine blade is described having a lightning protection system wherein a lightning down conductor is conductively coupled to at least one blade root bushing provided at the root end of the blade. The use of the blade root bushing as part of the conductive path of the lightning protection system allows for a structurally sound and reliable connection of an internal down conductor to an external lightning protection system and/or to a suitable ground connection at the blade root end.
