Do wind turbines require fire protection?
All wind turbines should be equipped with an intelligent fire detection and aerosol suppression system. The cost of having such a system is minimal, yet in the event of a fire, the cost of not having such a system would most likely be catastrophic. Therefore, a proactive approach to wind turbine fire protection is essential.
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.
What is the most effective fire suppression system in wind turbines?

What is passive fire protection in wind turbines?
Passive fire protection in wind turbines is fire protection that does not require active action once implemented. This includes choosing noncombustible materials during construction, such as those used in the nacelle.
What are the best practices for wind turbine fire protection?
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:
Do wind turbines need a fire suppression system?
As such, stakeholders at the government and community level are likely to push for regulatory changes to ensure any wind-turbine fires are suppressed before the flames can spread beyond the asset. Fire suppression systems can protect turbines by detecting and extinguishing fires. (Courtesy: Firetrace)
