On the morning of August 20, 2023, a carbon dioxide (CO2) leak occurred at the Hai Long offshore wind power substation in Lukang, Changhua, during the installation of fire suppression equipment. The incident happened while workers were filling a cylinder, resulting in the leak. The fire department reported that approximately 200 CO2 cylinders are stored at the facility. The incident led to ten injured workers, three of whom were in critical condition, with estimated damages reaching £500,000. Local authorities are implementing measures to strengthen safety monitoring to prevent similar incidents in the future.

On August 20, a carbon dioxide (CO2) leak occurred at the Hai Long offshore wind power substation in Lukang Township, Changhua, during the installation of fire suppression equipment.
The incident happened when workers were filling a cylinder, leading to the leak. The fire department reported that there are about 200 CO2 cylinders stored at the facility, with CO2 commonly used to extinguish fires due to the large number of electrical cables present.
The fire department was alerted to the incident around 10 a.m., and firefighters quickly arrived at the scene. By 11:30 a.m., ten injured workers had been transported to the hospital, three of whom were in critical condition and showed no vital signs prior to transport. As of 1:00 p.m., fourteen workers had been taken to the hospital, five of whom were unconscious.
Preliminary investigations estimate that the damages from this incident could reach around £500,000. Local authorities are implementing preventive measures to strengthen monitoring in similar work environments to ensure worker safety.
In such situations, the TRX600 robotic system from Planck Vision Systems proves invaluable.
Our comprehensive suite of solutions offers unparalleled support for both new constructions and retrofitting projects for wind turbines. Our specialized thermal imaging technology navigates tight turbine spaces with unmatched precision, bypassing the limitations of periodic handheld checks.
Continuous monitoring allows us to detect every anomaly promptly, ensuring timely interventions, risk reduction, and a solid foundation for long-term safety in turbine operations.
