Fixed systems for the wind power industry
Wind
generating capacity is growing by leaps and bounds. so are system
malfunctions. The 261-megawatt Stateline Wind Project on the border
between Oregon and Washington will be expanded to 300 megawatts, making
it the world's largest wind farm. Texas added some 900 megawatts in
several projects including a 278-MW wind farm at King Mountain in west
Texas. In South Dakota, 90,000 hectares (222,000 acres) of farm and
ranch land in the east central part of the state has been designated.
Plans to develop a huge 3,000-megawatt wind farm and to transmit the
electricity across Iowa, supplying Illinois and other states in the
industrial Midwest. One thing
they forgot to design, was a requirement for built in fire suppression

 Pitch control and drive motor failure in two blades click for video Pyrogen
fixed systems are placed in the blades close to the slip rings and
pitch drive motors provide protection for this type of event. These 30
HP motors draw 50 amps. this short caused fire in the surrounding

 Divided into several fire zones Pyrogen wind generation fire suppression systems provide total protection. Pyrogen Aerosol |
 Main generator control panel failure Our
electrical panel systems are perfect for his failure mode. This is a
very serious failure consuming the entire generator set and control
system. Using EXA series generators this light weight and
powerful system.

 This Blade hub has the fire systems installed prior to erection. One EXA-30 generator in each pivot is monitored by Protectowire linear heat detection (LHD) wire and our automatic control panel |
Electrical malfunctions
Lube oil leaks Lightning strikes High wind over speeds Imbalance vibration failures Pivot and pitch servo drive failures speed control and PLC failures wiring failures and arcing |

 This is not cheap for the insurers or the consumers of alternative electric energy |
 Don't be caught short. Our fire suppression
kits are much cheaper than the alternative.
