To search effective technical solutions to control fire risk of wind turbines, based on the risk system composed of “Human- Equipment - Environment – Management” in safety systems engineering theory, the four main aspects of wind turbines fire risk, i. e., lightning strikes and bad weather, mechanical and electrical equipment failure, human errors and poor management and fire protection systems missing, were pointed out. The fire risk and fire risk control measures of wind turbines were analyzed, the progress of fire detection technology and fire protection solutions of wind turbines were reviewed. The results show that, to develop and equip with high-performance automatic fire detection, alarm and extinguishing systems is the inevitable choice to effectively control the fire risk of wind turbines.
