DNV has been active in developing standards, specifications and guidelines for wind turbine structures and components since 2001. The standards integrate decades of experience from the offshore industry with DNV’s in-depth wind turbine knowledge gained from the type certification of large megawatt turbines.
Current publications include:
- DNV Standard DNV-OS-J101 - Design of Offshore Wind Turbine Structures:
- Principles, technical requirements, and guidance for offshore wind turbine structures
- Life-cycle approach covering design principles through decommissioning.
- DNV Standard DNV-OS-J102 - Design and Manufacture of Wind Turbine Blades:
Detailed interpretation of the basic requirements for blades including design, manufacturing, and testing.
- DNV Standard DNV-OS-J201 - Design of Offshore Substations:
Standard describing the baseline for safe design, layout, and operations of offshore substations.
- Guidelines for Design of Wind Turbines (Risø DTU/DNV):
- Guidelines for design of different types of wind turbines.
Publications in the pipeline:
- Recommended practices are under development in areas such as remote sensing for wind resource measurement and design of floating turbine structures
DNV Rules on wind turbine installations vessels.
In addition, DNV takes a leading role in developing and revising international standards through active involvement on a number of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) committees and European and national standards bodies.
