Extinguishing Systems in Wind Turbines - Solutions for Fire Protection

Fires in wind turbines can occur in various parts of the facility, including the nacelle, tower, and substation. Typical triggers are lightning, faults in electrical equipment, flying sparks due to overloading mechanical brakes and flammable work in the context of maintenance and repair work. Flammable components such as electrical cables, transmission, transformer and hydraulic oils, as well as the rotor blades, which are often made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic, pose additional risks.
