What are the design requirements for wind energy generation systems?

Wind energy generation systems - Part 1: Design requirements IEC 61400-1:2019 specifies essential design requirements to ensure the structural integrity of wind turbines. Its purpose is to provide an appropriate level of protection against damage from all hazards during the planned lifetime.

What are wind energy specifications?

The Wind Energy Specifications aim to be consistent with other renewable specifications (e.g. solar, bioenergy, geothermal) and this document thus focuses on describing the unique aspects of wind energy as it applies to their estimation and classification per UNFC and the Renewable Energy Specifications.

Who will receive the wind turbine specifications report?

This Wind Turbine Specifications Report will be provided to Aboriginal communities, the Municipality of Kincardine, County of Bruce and the public following the distribution requirements and timing constraints outlined in O. Reg. 359/09, as amended, and the Draft Technical Guide to Renewable Energy Approvals (MOE, 2012; MOE, 2012).

What acoustic emission data is included in the wind turbine specifications report?

Table 1, below, highlights the requirements and how they are addressed in this Wind Turbine Specifications Report. 1 Acoustic emission data includes the overall sound power level, measurement uncertainty value, octave-band sound power levels (linear weighted), tonality and tonal audibility.

Can a performance evaluation procedure be used to evaluate a wind turbine?

The procedure can be used for performance evaluation of specific wind turbines at specific locations, but equally the methodology can be used to make generic comparisons between different wind turbine models or different wind turbine settings when site-specific conditions and data filtering influences are taken into account.

How much electricity does a Siemens wind turbine generate?

The three 49 m blades of the Siemens SWT-2.3-101 wind turbine will generate electricity between the wind speeds of 3 m/s (i.e., the cut-in wind speed) and 25 m/s (i.e., the cut-out wind speed) and will reach its nameplate capacity of 2.3 MW when wind speeds reach approximately 12-13 m/s (Siemens, 2011).
