The problem of self-sustained oscillations in excitable complex networks is the central issue under investigation, among which the prediction and the realization of self-sustained oscillations in different kinds of excitable networks are the challenging tasks. In this paper, we extensively investigate the prediction and the realization of a Winfree loop sustained oscillation (WLSO) in two-dimensional (2D) excitable lattices. By analyzing the network structure, the fundamental oscillation source structure (FOSS) of WLSO in a 2D excitable lattice is exposed explicitly. For the suitable combinations of system parameters, the Winfree loop can self-organize on the FOSS to form an oscillation source sustaining the oscillation, and these suitable parameter combinations are predicted by calculating the minimum Winfree loop length and have been further confirmed in numerical simulations. However, the FOSS cannot spontaneously offer the WLSO in 2D excitable lattices in usual cases due to the coupling bidirectionality and the symmetry properties of the lattice. A targeted protection scheme of the oscillation source is proposed by overcoming these two drawbacks. Finally, the WLSO is realized in the 2D excitable lattice successfully.
