What regulations exist for fire protection in wind turbines?
NFPA 850 is the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) recommended practice for protection of electric generating plants and high-voltage direct current converter stations. Chapter 10 identifies hazards and protections for wind-power facilities.
Without set laws, wind-farm owners must independently develop their own fire-emergency plans. Most wind turbines do not routinely have fire-detection and control systems installed by OEMs because this option is simply not ordered or required by the end user.
