Abstract of the paper

Certification and quality assurance for wind turbines – new solutions of the TÜV Nord Group and its subsidiaries in India Abstracts: Manufacturers of wind turbines need to certify their products to achieve access to the markets. The assessment and certification of wind turbines are required as long as wind turbines are produced and brought to market. The assessment and certification of wind turbines are common practise worldwide. While the official requirements of the authorities of several countries often differ, the advantages of certification are often the same for the manufacturers, investors and insurances. These are in particular the reduction of risks as well as the increase of safety and reliability. Although different certification-schemes are being applied worldwide, the IEC-certification-scheme was established in the wind industry to a large extent. Suitably supplemented with missing or not sufficiently treated technical details, this scheme offers a comprehensive basis for the assessment and certification of wind turbines. A certification process comprises different modules, which differ in extent and depth of evaluation. Therefore for each wind turbine type or wind farm project the most suitable certification degree need to be defined individually. TÜV NORD enjoys a broad range of experience in consulting and optimizing of suitable certification extent as well as in the assessment and certification of the wind turbines itself. On the basis of these experiences an overview of the different certification modules shall be given and a possible way to the certification of own wind turbines and wind farm projects will be shown. Additionally to the broad experience in certification, TÜV NORD deploys local personnel for time- and labour-intensive certification modules like surveillance during production, transport and erection as well as commissioning and periodic inspections. In India these services are carried out by special trained personnel of TÜV NORD INDIA. This close co-operation offers advantages for all parties involved.
