FAQS about Special fire protection system for wind turbines
What is a fire protection system in a wind turbine?
Fire protection systems Both active and passive fire protection systems play an important role in ensuring fire safety in wind turbines. The roles of active fire protection systems include detection (of flames, heat, gas, and smoke), alerting personnel and rescue services, and activating systems for fire suppression or extinguishing.
What is active fire protection in a wind turbine?
In the case of a wind turbine fire (as with many other industrial fires), active fire protection involves: The most widely used and most effective fire suppression systems in wind turbines are aerosol systems.
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.
Do wind turbines need fire protection?
Some fire protection systems are recommended for wind turbines, but each case must follow even more specific safety recommendations. The systems mentioned in NFPA 850 include gas systems, water mist, compressed air foams, and aerosols.
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.
Which fire extinguishing systems should be installed in a wind turbine?
Fire extinguishing systems For the purpose of effective fire protection of wind turbines, automatic, stationary fire extinguishing systems shall be installed. Gas extinguishing systems as well as fine water spray systems are suitable (taking into account the special conditions given and the personal safety for the staff).
