Wind Turbine Fire Incident

In conventional (fuel based) energy production, the fuel required to produce energy is transported to a contained, and controlled environment (like a Power Plant). In renewable energy, however, the energy sources are abundant and available in various locations. In particular for wind energy, these locations of are generally, difficult terrains and remote locations.

The wind energy industry’s unique nature can aggravate risks and may even increase their probability and severity as compared to conventional energy production. Hence, it makes sense to identify such hazards and take necessary control measures to mitigate these risks. This video sample gives a glimpse of a probable incident that may lead to disaster.
