Composite component certification for a wind turbine
Technical expertise for IEC certification of composite blades and nacelle — onshore turbine, 78 m blades.
Context
Expertise assignment for component certification of composite assemblies to IEC standards on an onshore wind turbine — 78 m blades and nacelle. The work covers technical aspects of design and manufacturing: the challenge is to verify that the company developing the turbine complies with the applicable norms. That requires advanced technical knowledge, especially on composite material specifics.
Approach
Compova’s role is technical expertise based on documentary review of the case file. Interfaces include the certification body, the end client (engineering office or factory) and the other experts involved, to cross-check viewpoints and secure the technical conclusions.
Result
The assignment leads to certification of the turbine for the end client — the condition that authorizes entry into operation.
