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.
Should wind farms retrofit fire suppression systems?
As wind farms prep for eventual replacements, retrofitting fire suppression systems remains a viable interim opportunity to both safeguard existing turbines and increase the ability of operators to coordinate fire protection across their facility's footprint, which typically extends over thousands of acres.
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.
Do wind turbines need a fire protection certificate?
International fire protection guidelines and certificate There is currently no directive at the European level where fire prevention measures are marked explicitly for wind turbines.
How to prevent fire at wind turbines?
5.2.1 Fire detection In order to effectively limit fire and consequential loss, fires at wind turbines shall also be detected early on by automatic fire detection systems, in particular, since wind turbines are usually operated without any on-site staff. Distinction is basically made between room and installation monitoring.
How can wind farms reduce fire risk?
Each wind farm requires careful engineering and environmental assessments to determine the right combination of fire suppression systems and strategies, but at a high level, common opportunities to reduce fire risk include: Installing an automatic fire suppression system, such as a clean agent, inert gas, or aerosol extinguishing system.
