I. Background
Large-capacity wind turbine generator system with high load density are often located in remote and open places, and there are significant distances between units, leading to high maintenance costs and low efficiency. In case of a fire, extinguishing efforts are extremely challenging, and external rescue is nearly impossible, which could lead to catastrophic consequences if the fire spreads to forests or grasslands.
Over time, as components within the wind power generator room experience wear and tear, aging electrical circuits develop increased contact resistance. The room’s compact and densely packed design restricts the flow of smoke and heat, making it prone to fires when temperatures exceed ignition points.
II. Solution
Since the traditional fire alarm devices in wind farms have no early warning function, our company has developed an active safety monitoring and early warning device centered on the unique nano-particle detection technology. Besides, the combination of characteristic gas detection, active air sampling, and data fusion analysis algorithms enables the advanced warning of overheating hazards in wind turbine units. This device has been widely used in areas such as fan room, tower, booster station, power distribution room, etc.
