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 Before the fire extinguishing system is active, the air-conditioning or ventilation system must be switched off automatically.
Three respondents use automatic gas suppression systems and fire extinguishers in offshore wind turbines. The gas suppression system may use NOVEC 1230 or FM200 Q9. agent. One respondent indicated that a water mist system is a viable and recommended option for the wind turbine enclosure.
The fire protection philosophy for wind energy systems requires a heavy focus on fire prevention, automatic fire suppression, and PFP, with minimized reliance on active exterior firefighting operations. A fire protection approach requires automatic suppression and control of small incipient fires rather than fighting a large, fully developed fire.
Fire suppression systems are designed to control or extinguish a fire and are characterized as either automatic or manual. Automatic fire suppression systems do not require human interaction and may include a fire sprinkler system, a gaseous clean agent system, water mist system, or foam suppression system.
