6 FAQs about [Special fire protection system for wind turbines]

What is wind turbine fire protection?

Wind turbine fire protection includes adding fire suppression systems to protect critical components in the nacelle and the base of the tower.

Are wind turbines a fire suppression system?

If you decide to opt in to adding fire suppression systems, several options are available (with varying levels of success). Water-based fire suppression systems include sprinklers, water mist, and foam water. While these types of systems are ideal for certain applications, wind turbines are not one of them.

What are the objectives of a wind turbine fire prevention program?

The objective is to minimize the incidence rate and the scope of a potential loss by fire at wind turbines. In addition to special fire protection measures for detecting, fighting and preventing fires, procedural safety measures and comprehensive control technologies/systems for monitoring procedural operations and conditions are required.

How can passive fire protection improve fire safety in wind turbines?

Passive fire protection includes the choice of material, sectioning, and other measures for minimising fire spread. Various sources in the international literature provide guidance and recommendations regarding how passive fire protection systems can improve fire safety in wind turbines.

What is a wind turbine protection system?

5.1.2 Minimizing the risk of electrical systems The protection technology, which comprises any electrical installations as well as measures for identifying power system faults and other abnormal operating conditions at wind turbines and the associated peripheral systems, shall be state of the art and comply with current national standards.
