Dinorwig Power Station is situation close to Snowdonia National
Park in North Wales. Built in 1984, Dinorwig hydro electric power
station offers one of the fastest response times of any power
facility in the world, generating 1,728MW from standstill in just
90 seconds.
International Power, owners of the power station developed a
specification that would:
- Deliver a networked fire system to cover overground and
underground areas of the power station sited several kilometers
apart
- Be based on an open protocol
- Include aspirating fire detection
Working in partnership with Kentec Electronics Limited, Apollo
Fire Detectors were able to demonstrate that a fire system based on
Apollo's digital open protocol would fulfill International Power's
needs.
The fire system at Dinorwig now offers comprehensive coverage
across the entire site with point fire detection, aspirating
detection and extinguishing systems fully integrated.
