Two types of evaluation services are
provided in support of wind turbine certification: Design Evaluation and Evaluation of
Wind Turbine Installations
Design Evaluation
Evaluation of the wind turbine design leads to the issuance of a Design Evaluation
Conformity Statement for a particular wind turbine model, ensuring that its components,
subsystems and systems have been designed and manufactured to existing standards and that
procedures and manuals for the wind turbine installation, maintenance, operation, and
safety have been developed in conformance with existing standards.
Evaluation of Wind
Turbine Installations
Evaluation of a wind turbine installation
is conducted to certify that a wind turbine facility (which may be comprised of one
turbine or two or more different wind turbines) is in conformance with standards for site
assessment, foundation design, installation procedures, operation and maintenance
surveillance, personnel safety procedures, and wind plant performance monitoring
guidelines. |
