Some fire protection systems are recommended for wind turbines, but each case must follow even more specific safety recommendations. The systems mentioned in NFPA 850 include gas systems, water mist, compressed air foams, and aerosols.
Another protection measure for wind turbines is the replacement of cables by bus bars. Unlike PVC-insulated cables, busbars have a low fire potential. In addition, the busbars can have an epoxy coating that makes them more resistant to aging and can increase the protection for the conductors.
There is currently no directive at the European level where fire prevention measures are marked explicitly for wind turbines. Available are either good practice guides, prepared by independent institutes and associations or private companies or directives that talk about machine parameters in general, such as Directive 2006/42/CE. 6.1. NFPA 850
Passive methods, such as those used in the turbine's design or construction or the facility's administration, can increase fire safety inside the nacelle . Wind turbine fires are a reality in wind farms worldwide and represent severe damages for the wind industry. Fire is the second most common accident caused in terms of incidents found.
