Fire Safety in Wind Turbine Generators: A Flame of Caution
The Renewable Training Center (RTC) is at the forefront of addressing these concerns, offering specialized training and awareness programs. This article explores the critical aspects of fire
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).
According to VDS these elements are not suitable in fire systems for wind turbines. Extinguishing systems must be well maintained regularly, at least every 2 years. When environmental conditions put them under stress, maintenance should be performed in periods more frequently . 7.1.8.
Foam extinguishing systems can be used with every allowed kind of foam expansion. Powder extinguishing systems as well as aerosol extinguishing systems cannot be recommended for application at wind turbines since they may cause consequential loss.
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). These fire extinguishing systems can be used as installation- or room protection systems or as a combination of both.
