Wind energy generation systems - Part 1: Design requirements (IEC 61400-1:2019)

This part of IEC 61400 specifies essential design requirements to ensure the structural
integrity of wind turbines. Its purpose is to provide an appropriate level of protection against
damage from all hazards during the planned lifetime.
This document is concerned with all subsystems of wind turbines such as control and
protection functions, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems and support structures.
This document applies to wind turbines of all sizes. For small wind turbines, IEC 61400-2 can
be applied. IEC 61400-3-1 provides additional requirements to offshore wind turbine
installations.
This document is intended to be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards
mentioned in Clause 2.

IEC 61400-1:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 61400-1:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

Sistemi za proizvodnjo energije na veter - 1. del: Zahteve za načrtovanje (IEC 61400-1:2019)

Ta del standarda IEC 61400 določa temeljne zahteve za načrtovanje, s katerimi se zagotovi konstrukcijska celovitost vetrnih turbin. Njegov namen je zagotoviti ustrezno raven zaščite pred poškodbami zaradi vseh nevarnosti v predvideni življenjski dobi.
Ta dokument obravnava vse podsisteme vetrnih turbin, kot so funkcije nadzora in zaščite, notranji električni sistemi, mehanski sistemi ter podporne konstrukcije. Ta dokument se uporablja za vetrne turbine vseh velikosti. Za majhne vetrne turbine se lahko uporabi standard IEC 61400-2. Standard IEC 61400-3-1 določa dodatne zahteve za namestitve vetrnih turbin na morju.
Ta dokument je namenjen za uporabo skupaj z ustreznimi standardi IEC in ISO, omenjenimi v točki 2.
