Wind turbines - Part 26-2: Production-based availability for wind turbines (IEC/TS 61400-26-2:2014)

This part of IEC 61400 provides a framework from which production-based performance
indicators of a WTGS (wind turbine generator system) can be derived. It unambiguously
describes how data is categorised and provides examples of how the data can be used to
derive performance indicators.
The approach of this part of IEC 61400 is to expand the time allocation model, introduced in
IEC TS 61400-26-1, with two additional layers for recording of the actual energy production
and potential energy production associated with the concurrent time allocation.
It is not the intention of this Technical Specification to define how production-based
availability shall be calculated. Nor is it the intention to form the basis for power curve
performance measurements, which is the objective of IEC 61400-12.
This document also includes informative annexes with:
• examples of determination of lost production,
• examples of algorithms for production-based indicators,
• examples of other performance indicators,
• examples of application scenarios.

Vetrne turbine - 26-2. del: Razpoložljivost, ki temelji na proizvodnji vetrnih elektrarn (IEC/TS 61400-26-2:2014)

Ta del standarda IEC 61400 zagotavlja okvir, iz katerega se lahko izpeljejo indikatorji delovanja WTGS (sistema za proizvodnjo vetrne turbine), ki temeljijo na proizvodnji. Nedvoumno opisuje, kako so podatki kategorizirani in ponuja primere, kako je mogoče uporabiti podatke za pridobivanje indikatorjev delovanja.
Pristop tega dela standarda IEC 61400 je razširiti model dodeljevanja časa, uveden v standardu IEC TS 61400-26-1, z dvema dodatnima slojema za beleženje dejanske proizvodnje energije in potencialne proizvodnje energije, ki je povezana s sočasnim dodeljevanjem časa.
Namen te tehnične specifikacije ni opredeliti, kako je treba izračunati razpoložljivost na podlagi proizvodnje. Prav tako ni njen namen, da bi bila podlaga za meritve delovanja krivulje električne energije, kar je cilj standarda IEC 61400-12.
Ta dokument vsebuje tudi informativne dodatke s:
• primeri ugotavljanja izgubljene proizvodnje,
• primeri algoritmov za indikatorje, ki temeljijo na proizvodnji,
• primeri drugih indikatorjev delovanja,
• primeri scenarijev uporabe.

WIND TURBINES –

Part 26-2: Production-based availability for wind turbines

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC TS 61400-26-2, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 88: Wind turbines.

The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
88/455/DTS 88/483/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61400 series, under the general title Wind turbines, can be found
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual edition of this document may be issued at a later date.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
useful for the correct
that it contains colours which are considered to be
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

INTRODUCTION
The intention of this technical specification is to define a common basis for exchange of
information on performance indicators between owners, utilities, lenders, operators,
manufacturers, consultants, regulatory bodies, certification bodies, insurance companies and
other stakeholders in the wind power generation business. This is achieved by providing an
information model specifying how time designations shall be split into information categories.
The information model forms the basis for how to allocate time for reporting availability and
reliability indicators.
The technical specification defines generic terms of wind turbine systems and environmental
constraints in describing system and component availability, lifetime expectancy, repairs and
criteria for determining overhaul intervals. The specification defines terminology and generic
terms for reporting energy based generating unit availability measurement. A generating unit
includes all equipment up to the point of electrical connection. Availability measurements are
concerned with fractions of time and energy a unit is capable of providing during service,
taking environmental aspects into account. Environmental aspects will be wind and other
weather conditions, as well as grid and substation conditions. The specification furthermore
defines terminology and terms for reporting performance indicators based on energy
production. Mandatory information categories defined in the technical specification are written
in capital letters; optional information categories defined in the technical specification are
written in bold letters.
The project scope is accomplished by separating the technical specification into three parts:
• IEC TS 61400-26-1, which specifies terms for time-based availability of a wind turbine
generating system;
• IEC TS 61400-26-2, which specifies terms for production-based availability of a wind
turbine generating system;
• IEC/TS 61400-26-3, which specifies terms for time-based and production-based
availability of a wind power station.
Part 2 is an extension of Part 1 that deals with the use of production elements based on the
information model defined in Part 1. The structure and interrelations in the applied information
model are defined in Part 1 and apply to the production based extensions made in Part 2.
The intention of Part 2 is to define a common basis for exchange of information on production-
based availability. This is achieved by using the information model specifying how time and
energy designations shall be split into information categories and assigned to production
terms.
NOTE The point of electrical connection is defined individually from one project to the other, but is normally
understood as the electrical low voltage or high voltage terminals of the wind turbine generating system connecting
to the feeder cables.

WIND TURBINES –

Part 26-2: Production-based availability for wind turbines



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61400 provides a framework from which production-based performance
indicators of a WTGS (wind turbine generator system) can be derived. It unambiguously
describes how data is categorised and provides examples of how the data can be used to
derive performance indicators.
The approach of this part of IEC 61400 is to expand the time allocation model, introduced in
IEC TS 61400-26-1, with two additional layers for recording of the actual energy production
and potential energy production associated with the concurrent time allocation.
It is not the intention of this Technical Specification to define how production-based
availability shall be calculated. Nor is it the intention to form the basis for power curve
performance measurements, which is the objective of IEC 61400-12.
This document also includes informative annexes with:
• examples of determination of lost production,
• examples of algorithms for production-based indicators,
• examples of other performance indicators,
• examples of application scenarios.
