Get StartedFire 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.
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.
When it comes to wind turbine fire protection, options do exist. Smoke, heat, and flame detectors, as well as fire suppression systems, can be installed on wind turbines.
When addressing fire protection for wind turbines (prevention as well as suppression), the best practices include both passive and active fire protection measures. Passive fire protection is fire protection which, once implemented, does not require additional action. Some examples of passive fire protection of wind turbines are:
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.
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.
