Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61400-13:2015CommitteePublished year2015Description
IEC 61400-13:2015(B) describes the measurement of fundamental structural loads on wind turbines for the purpose of the load simulation model validation. The standard prescribes the requirements and recommendations for site selection, signal selection, data acquisition, calibration, data verification, measurement load cases, capture matrix, post-processing, uncertainty determination and reporting. Informative annexes are also provided to improve understanding of testing methods. This standard replaces IEC TS 61400-13 published in 2001; it constitutes a technical revision and transition from technical specification to International Standard.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61400-12-2:2013CommitteePublished year2013Description
IEC 61400-12-2:2013 specifies a procedure for verifying the power performance characteristics of a single electricity-producing, horizontal axis wind turbine, which is not considered to be a small wind turbine per IEC 61400-2. This standard is intended to be used when the specific operational or contractual specifications may not comply with the requirements set forth in IEC 61400-12-1:2005. The procedure can be used for power performance evaluation of specific turbines at specific locations, but equally the methodology can be used to make generic comparisons between different turbine models or different turbine settings. The contents of the corrigendum of Septembre 2016 have been included in this copy.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61400-12-1:2017 RLVCommitteePublished year2017Description
IEC 61400-12-1:2017 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition. IEC 61400-12-1:2017 specifies a procedure for measuring the power performance characteristics of a single wind turbine and applies to the testing of wind turbines of all types and sizes connected to the electrical power network. In addition, this standard describes a procedure to be used to determine the power performance characteristics of small wind turbines (as defined in IEC 61400-2) when connected to either the electric power network or a battery bank. 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. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: new definition of wind speed, inclusion of wind shear and wind veer, revision of air density correction, revision of site calibration, revision to definition of power curve, interpolation to bin centre method, revision of obstacle model, etc. Key words: Wind turbines, Wind energy, renewable energy, performance, efficiency. The contents of the corrigendum of September 2019 and March 2020 have been included in this copy.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61400-11:2012+AMD1:2018 CSVCommitteePublished year2018Description
IEC 61400-11:2012+A1:2018 presents measurement procedures that enable noise emissions of a wind turbine to be characterised. This involves using measurement methods appropriate to noise emission assessment at locations close to the machine, in order to avoid errors due to sound propagation, but far away enough to allow for the finite source size. The procedures described are different in some respects from those that would be adopted for noise assessment in community noise studies. They are intended to facilitate characterisation of wind turbine noise with respect to a range of wind speeds and directions. Standardisation of measurement procedures will also facilitate comparisons between different wind turbines. This new edition constitutes a technical revision, introducing new principles for data reduction procedures. This consolidated version consists of the third edition (2012) and its amendment 1 (2018). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.The contents of the corrigendum of October 2019 have been included in this copy.

This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specifications for the procurement of wind turbines for use in electrity generating stations (wind power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this guide. This Guide covers wind turbine generator systems (WTGS) with swept area equal to or larger than 40 m2. This guide for procurement of wind turbines has been prepared to be used with the existing international standard IEC 1400-1, it should therefore be read in addition and complementary to the International standard.

This European Standard deals with procedures for the assessment of electricity generation within the direct building environment through wind power systems. The wind power systems described in this document are small plants as they may occur in domestic production and use of electricity in connection with buildings. This standard covers wind generation power systems ≤ 75 kW.
