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 does automatic fire detection work in a wind turbine?
Distinction is basically made between room and installation monitoring. On the one hand, automatic fire detection serves to inform the control unit, and on the other hand, it serves to activate the extinguishing devices automatically plus to shut down the wind turbine automatically, if necessary.
Do wind turbines need a fire detector?
The fire detectors’ qualification is to be reviewed for each individual turbine depending on the respective operating conditions at the wind turbine and after consulting with the system’s owner (manufacturer). Attention is to be paid to optimal fire detection and limitation of false alarms or nuisance alarms, in particular.
What is a wind turbine monitoring system?
One tool serving this purpose, which is already available at many wind turbines, is systems that automatically monitor important operating parameters such as the pressure and temperature of mechanical and electrical systems such as transformer, generator winding, gearboxes, hydraulic systems or bearings.
Which fire extinguishing systems should be installed in a wind turbine?
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).
Where can I see the protection systems installed on wind turbine blades?
It is possible to see the protection systems installed on the wind turbine blades. The lightning receptors are located on the blades in total. There are 7 individual receivers located at R44.7 m (near the tip), R42 m, R39 m, R35 m, R30 m, R25 m, and R20 m measured from the center of the rotor shaft.
