Due to the demanding growth of infrastructure and economy many countries facing substantial problems to provide a satisfying energy supply. An ideal example for this development is Dubai. To provide the needed energy grid a huge number of substations are required. Obviously water is a rare good in these desert countries accompanied by a lack of space in a city infrastructure which can be answered by a FOGTEC High-pressure water mist Firefighting System. Furthermore the substations are not fully closed and might face naturally forced ventilation which would not allow a gas system.
Due to the massive dimensions of the transformers combined with open ceilings allowing high wind speeds and hidden areas at the ground specific fire tests were required in order to develop a suitable protection concept.
