Aiming at the current situation of serious economic losses caused by lightning shielding on the collection lines of wind farms in mountainous areas. First, this paper uses the horizontal section location map of the collection line to extract the terrain parameters, Then use the catenary equation to determine the spatial position of the conductor and ground of any section of the collector line along the pitch direction, and obtain the height of the conductor and the ground to the ground. Finally, complete the modeling calculation analysis of the three-dimensional electrical geometry model (EGM) of the entire collection line. The calculation results show that, when the thunderstorm day, the arrangement of the collection line and the structure of the tower are the same, the SFFOR of the collection line of the wind farm in mountainous terrain is 0.487 times/100 km/year, and the plain terrain is 0.167 times/100 km/year, that is, mountainous area is 2.9 times of plain terrain; It is recommended to use double lightning protection poles with small protection angles on the collection lines of wind farms in mountainous areas, or install lightning arresters for poles that are prone to flashover to meet the design requirements of line lightning protection.
