A system for suppressing a wind turbine fire using an admixture of hydrated super absorbent polymer having properties for suppressing and extinguishing of a fire. The admixture is non conductive and, upon drying, leaves a non-conductive residual that can be vacuumed from the wind turbine components to allow salvaging of the wind turbine components. The admixture is maintained within a pressurized storage vessel having a solenoid that is released by temperature sensor applying the admixture through strategically positioned nozzles to the control cabinets, generator, gearbox and bearings for extinguishment of any associated fire. Since the admixture of super absorbent polymer and water entraps the particulates and noxious and/or toxic gasses, the clean-up is substantially easier and quicker than the clean up from other methods of fire suppression and extinguishing. 1. A wind turbine fire suppression system constructed and arranged to suppress a fire within a shielded cabinet housing wind turbine machinery comprising:a sealed container capable of holding pressurized non-conductive hydrated super absorbent polymer;a predetermined amount of admixture of non-conductive hydrated super absorbent polymer stored within said container;at least one charging cylinder coupled to said sealed container for pressurization of said container storing said admixture;a plurality of distribution nozzles fluidly connected to said sealed container strategically positioned and constructed and arranged to spray said admixture on the machinery of said wind turbine;at least one sensor for detecting fire ignition and means for releasing said stored admixture of non-conductive hydrated super absorbent polymer onto said machinery; andwhereby said admixture formulated to provided fire suppression and encapsulate noxious and toxic gases thereby reducing organic and metal emissions.2.
