Wind turbine
installation or facility evaluation for certification provides information needed by
certification agents to assess the integrity and safety of specific wind plants and
facilities.
Installation Evaluation
comprises site assessment verification and analysis, foundation design analysis,
installation analysis, operation and maintenance (O&M) surveillance analysis, and wind
farm or facility performance monitoring. All product documentation, including site
assessment; installation, maintenance, and operation manuals; and performance monitoring
data systems manuals, are subjected to close scrutiny and verification.
The use of stringent quality assurance
and personnel safety systems systems at NREL, the NWTC's experience in documenting
advanced designs and test procedures, and the NWTC's long involvement in the wind turbine
standards development process provide a unique capability to assess quality systems,
safety systems and manuals. |
