GB/T 17646-2013Design requirements for small wind turbine (English PDF)

Foreword

This Standard is drafted according to the rules provided in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Standard replaces GB 17646-1998/IEC 61400-2:1996 Safety of small wind turbine generator systems.

Compared with GB 17646-1998/IEC 61400-2:1996 Safety of small wind turbine generator systems, there are many substantial changes, except for the editorial, in which, the major technical differences are as follows.

- The reduced equations are modified according to the latest testing and research findings;

- Several parameters in the reduced equations shall now be based on the testing results;

- The option of substituting aeroelastic models for reduced equations are added;

- Testing requirements are expanded.

This Standard uses translation method to equivalently adopt the international standard

IEC 61400-2:2006 Wind turbines - Part 2: Design requirements for small wind turbines.

The standards in our country which have consistent corresponding relationship with the international documents that are quoted in normative references of this Standard are as follows.

For ease of use, this Standard makes the following editorial changes.

a) Change "this Part in IEC 61400" to this Standard;

b) Delete the informative preliminary elements in IEC 61400-2:2005 (including the cover-page and the foreword);

c) Rename the standard and add the "foreword" of this Standard;

d) Replace IEC 60038:1983 with the applicable IEC 60038:2002;

e) Correct some errors in IEC 61400-2:2006.

1 Scope

This Standard deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineering integrity and specifies requirements for the safety of Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) including design, installation, maintenance and operation under specified external conditions. Its purpose is to provide the appropriate level of protection against damage from hazards from these systems during their planned lifetime.

This Standard is concerned with all subsystems of SWT such as protection mechanisms, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems, support structures, foundations and the electrical interconnection with the load.

While this Standard is similar to IEC 61400-1, it does simplify and make significant changes in order to be applicable to small turbines.

This Standard applies to wind turbines with a rotor swept area smaller than 200 m2, generating at a voltage below 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c.

This Standard should be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards (see Clause 2).
