Abstract
A lightning protection subsystem for a wind blade is presented. The lightning protection subsystem includes one or more conductive segments, where each of the one or more conductive segments include a conductor and a coupling portion, where the coupling portion is configured to secure the one or more conductive segments to an edge of the wind blade. Further, the one or more conductive segments form an elongated lightning conducting path along at least a portion of the length of the edge, at an outer surface of the wind blade.
