Wind Energy Generation Systems - Part 1: Design Requirements
Also Known As:
The CSA C61400-1:21 standard, also known as "Wind Energy Generation Systems - Part 1: Design Requirements," is the Canadian adoption of the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61400-1. It is the third edition of this standard, superseding the previous edition published in 2014.
The purpose of this standard is to provide essential design requirements to ensure the structural integrity of wind turbines, with the aim of protecting against damage from all hazards during their planned lifetime. The scope of this standard covers all subsystems of wind turbines, including control and protection functions, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems, and support structures.
The standard applies to wind turbines of all sizes, and there are specific standards for small wind turbines (IEC 61400-2) and offshore wind turbine installations (IEC 61400-3-1). In addition, it is intended to be used alongside other relevant IEC and ISO standards mentioned in Clause 2 of the document.
The Canadian deviations in this standard reflect essential differences in electrical, environmental, and structural safety requirements, as well as additional requirements and guidance for the unique external conditions in Canada. The development of this standard complies with the requirements of the Standards Council of Canada for National Standards of Canada and has been published as such by the CSA Group.
