Wind Turbine Standards
Wind turbine standards address design requirements and considerations, as well as associated components, systems, and technologies that have an impact on the
Testing, Standardisation and Certification
Standardisation is largely achieved through the IEC 61400 series of standards specifically for the wind industry, and their national or European equivalents. Standardisation work is driven by industry
Standardisation and Certification of Airborne Wind Energy
These systems are designed for consistent and effective power generation and can compete with traditional wind turbines. They have a proven track record of reliable operation, meeting rigorous
The power of wind: The global wind energy industry''s successes and
Using an Original Institutional Economics (OIE) approach we critically evaluate structural weaknesses in the global wind energy industry that could limit wind energy''s role in decarbonisation.
Wind Energy Accomplishments and Year-End Performance
The report is the result of a recent collaboration between NREL and the distributed wind industry to revise U.S. and international standards for small wind turbines.
International Agreements on Wind Energy Standards
International collaboration supported by the U.S. Department of Energy''s Wind Energy Technologies Office has led to the development of

Purpose and functionHarmonizationWind Turbine Generator (WTG) classesList of IEC 61400 parts
IEC 61400 is a set of design requirements made to ensure that wind turbines are appropriately engineered against damage from hazards within the planned lifetime. The standard concerns most aspects of the turbine life from site conditions before construction, to turbine components being tested, assembled and operated. Wind turbines are capital intensive, and are usually purchased before they are being erected and commissioned
GWEC 2024
All roadmaps to net zero show that annual wind installations must quadruple from current levels by 2030 to get on track for our Paris Agreement targets. By 2050, wind energy must generate more than
