Wind Turbine Fire Protection Growing Fast in Wind Farm

According to the World Wind Energy Association’s “World Wind Energy Report 2009”, the wind turbine market is estimated to have more than 80usd billion annually, and it is increasing every year, so now many wind turbine manufacturers and wind farm operators are working hard for it, America, China, Indian, Spain, and Germany are recognized as the main countries engage in wind turbine industry and they almost occupy 80% of the world wind capacity.

Because of such a high level of investment in wind power, these turbine manufacturers and operators become acutely aware of the financial implications, safety issues, and environmental impact of fire-damaged or destroyed turbines. fire safety has become an important issue in the wind turbine power industry.

Also, the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and the VDS (Germany’s Overtrain durch Sicherheit) both have detailed fire safety recommendations relating to wind turbine generating facilities.

All over the globe, there are many wind turbine components and generators that suffer from a fire which cause billions of property damage to people and the government.

There are mainly some factors that caused the wind turbine fires as follows:

• 1. Started by a lighting strike, this is the main cause of the fire in a wind turbine.
• 2. Electrical Equipment like Capacitors, transformers, generators, and electrical controls is another factor in the fire.
• 3. The Braking System, it allowing the fluid to erupt into flames when it comes into contact with a hot surface.

SO NOW WE HEREBY COME ACROSS THE QUESTION IS THE GOOD FIRE PROTECTION SOLUTION FOR THE WIND TURBINE?

As we can see, the wind turbine is always in the hills high mountings, or the seaside, it is difficult to use conventional fire suppression systems like foam, gaseous, dry chemical, or water-mist, as those conventional fire suppression systems are complex, and with pipeline network will very hard to apply and install, it seems an easy installation, simple construction, compact and space-saving fire suppression system is a better choice.

AEROSOL FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM ADVANCED FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR THE WIND TURBINE.

Hereby we recommended the aerosol fire extinguishing system, which this system is only complies with a mini aerosol fire extinguisher generator, and together with fire alarm systems or standalone systems can make the wind turbine and its components under fire protection.

The Aerosol fire suppression systems we have are small in size, strong in fire extinguishing ability, compact and space-saving, can be total flooding or in-cabinet installation, very flexible to install everywhere in the wind turbine room or component spaces.
Furthermore, the aerosol systems have the following advantages and characteristics:

• 1. ECO-Friendly and halon-alternative.
• 2. ODP=0,GWP=0,ALT=0.
• 3. Non-toxic, non-conductive, non-corrosive.
• 4. Not have residue after discharging, So for wind turbines, it is easy to sweep up.
• 5. Long life span, the aerosol system and generator have 10 years of lifespan, while other fire suppression systems only have 5 years at most.
• 6. Very easy to install and with only an installation bracket and install everywhere you want.

Wind turbine fire protection will be growing fast every year in the wind farm, We are just an experienced manufacturer and supplier providing these products, especially for wind turbine systems, and if you are interested in this field and interest, feel free to contact us, and we will make you worth more.
