What is the IEC 61400-1 standard for wind turbines?

For wind turbines of more than 200m2 swept area, but less than 50kW rated electrical power, the IEC 61400-1 Wind Energy Generation Systems – Part 1; Turbines – Design Requirements standard (Edition 4.0 published 16th September 2019) is available.

Can a battery storage system reduce net load uncertainty in off-grid wind power plants?

Energy storage system is a key solution for system operators to provide the required flexibility needed to balance the net load uncertainty. This study proposes a probabilistic approach for sizing a battery storage system (BSS) with the aim of mitigating the net load uncertainty associated with the off-grid wind power plant.

Do the wind energy specifications provide step-by-step guidance?

The Wind Energy Specifications do not provide step-by-step guidance but describe how the principles underpinning UNFC and Renewable Energy Specifications apply to wind energy and what key generic definitions that were originally designed for depletable, non-renewable resources mean in the context of wind energy generation.

What is a small wind turbine safety standard?

This standard was created by the small wind turbine industry, scientists, and consumers. It was designed to provide consumers with realistic and comparable performance ratings, and an assurance the small wind turbine products certified to this standard have been engineered for safety and operation.

What are wind energy specifications?

The Wind Energy Specifications aim to be consistent with other renewable specifications (e.g. solar, bioenergy, geothermal) and this document thus focuses on describing the unique aspects of wind energy as it applies to their estimation and classification per UNFC and the Renewable Energy Specifications.

Are deep-cycle batteries suitable for solar & wind power applications?

In this regard, deep-cycle batteries have been recommended as perfect fit for use in solar and wind power applications . However, having a deep discharge (DOD > 80%) is not recommended as it leads to a low battery lifetime, and permanent physical damage to the BSS .
