5 Part 40: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Requirements and test method
8 FOREWORD
9 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for
10 standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National
11 Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions
12 concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
13 addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
14 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred
15 to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC
16 National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory
17 work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC
18 also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International
19 Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
20 agreement between the two organizations.
21 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as
22 possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each
23 technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
24 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted
25 by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure
26 that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible
27 for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
28 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply
29 IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and
30 regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding
31 national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
32 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies
33 provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of
34 conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification
35 bodies.
36 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
37 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including
38 individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees
39 for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever,
40 whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the
41 publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
42 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the
43 referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
44 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may
45 be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
46 such patent rights.
47 International Standard IEC 61400-40 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 88: Wind
48 energy generation systems.
49 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

67 7 Emission requirements
68 7.1 General
69 The wind turbine shall fulfil the emission requirements of this standard.
70 All subsystems shall fulfil the emission requirements of their product standard, product family
71 standards or the relevant generic standard.
72 7.2 Conducted Emissions
73 For radio protection purposes the magnetic field emissions of the whole wind turbine
74 enclosure are measured in this frequency range.
75 7.3 Radiated Emissions
76 7.3.1 General
77 Due to continuous variation of wind speed and other external influences the emissions of wind
78 turbines may vary during the measurements. Ambient signals and noise shall be distinguished from
79 emissions of the wind turbine.
80 An overview of a recommended test sequence is given in Figure 1 and Table 1.
81 Description of Figure 1:
82 The measurements shall be executed under the following conditions:
83 • Reference points and orientations of the antenna are given in 7.3.7.
84 • The adjustments of the EMI-Receiver are given in 7.3.7
85 • The operation modes of the wind turbine are given in 7.3.8.
86 • To distinguish the emission of the wind turbine from prevailing ambient emissions, all
87 measurements on one reference point of the antenna should be executed in sequence in
88 one (short time) block like shown in table 1. This to ensure minimum natural ambient
89 emissions variations influencing the measurements. The assessment for ambient
90 emission detection given in CISPR 16-2-3 Annex A4.3 to A5 shall be used.
91 • Discontinuous disturbances which occur sporadically shall be disregarded, like described
92 in CISPR 16-2-3 chapter 6.5.1.
93 • All measurements can be repeated multiple times.

108 clock, compass, sensors of wind turbine data and sensor of meteorological data.
109 The sensor of meteorological data shall be placed in close vicinity of the selected measurement
110 points.
111 7.3.3 Data recording
112 Operation data of the wind turbine that are helpful to replicate the measurement should be recorded.
