Early detection Vestas’ two detection systems continuously monitor the turbine for signals that fire may be imminent. The Smoke and Heat Detection System monitors the switch gear and mechanical driven events, such as brake zones and trigger an alarm if both smoke and heat is detected. The Arc Detection System focuses on high voltage zones and monitor for light glints related to arc flashes. In case of detection, the systems disengage the main switchgear and disconnect the turbine from the grid. Additional smoke and heat sensors can be added to the 2 MW turbines based on the customer’s fire risk assessment. Fire Suppression As a second line of defense, Vestas Fire Suppression System (FSS) is available for Vestas’ 4 MW turbines. In case of a fire incident, the electrically activated fire suppression system actively suppresses fire at the source by de-energizing the hazard zones, utilising a suppression agent. Connected to a back-up power source, the fire suppression system continues operation after the main switchgear is turned off and limits fire dispersion and further damage. A fire suppression system is also available for the 2 MW platform in North America. Business case optimisation Application of fire detection and suppression systems safeguards the turbine and protects the investment, while ensuring optimal business case certainty.
