STATE TITLE AND SCOPE OF TC
TC 88: Wind energy generation systems
Standardization in the field of wind energy generation systems including wind turbines, wind power plants onshore and offshore and interaction with the electrical system(s) to which energy is supplied.
These standards address site suitability and resource assessment, design requirements, engineering integrity, modelling requirements, measurement techniques, test procedures, operation and maintenance. Their purpose is to provide a basis for design, quality assurance and technical aspects for certification. The standards address site-specific conditions, all systems and subsystems of wind turbines and wind power plants, such as mechanical and electrical systems, support structures, control and protection as well as communication systems for monitoring, centralized and distributed control and evaluation, implementation of grid connection requirements for wind power plants, and environmental aspects of wind power development. The TC 88 standards will be developed based on and in agreement with appropriate IEC/ISO standards.
The TC 88 scope was recently updated to more accurately reflect that TC 88 is not just limited to the wind turbine itself but the wind power plant of which the wind turbine is just a component. A meeting was held with TC 8 SC 8A to more accurately define the boundary between it and TC 88. No near term update of the TC 88 scope is anticipated.
