Wind turbines - Part 2: Small wind turbines (IEC 61400-2:2013)

This part of IEC 61400 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 SWTs such as protection mechanisms,
internal electrical systems, mechanical systems, support structures, foundations and the
electrical interconnection with the load. A small wind turbine system includes the wind turbine
itself including support structures, the turbine controller, the charge controller / inverter (if
required), wiring and disconnects, the installation and operation manual(s) and other
documentation.
While this standard is similar to IEC 61400-1, it does simplify and make significant changes in
order to be applicable to small wind turbines. Any of the requirements of this standard may be
altered if it can be suitably demonstrated that the safety of the turbine system is not
compromised. This provision, however, does not apply to the classification and the associated
definitions of external conditions in Clause 6. Compliance with this standard does not relieve
any person, organisation, or corporation from the responsibility of observing other applicable
regulations.
This standard applies to wind turbines with a rotor swept area smaller than or equal to
200 m2, generating electricity at a voltage below 1 000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. for both on-grid
and off-grid applications.
This standard should be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards (see
Clause 2).

Aérogénérateurs - Partie 2: Petits aérogénérateurs (IEC 61400-2:2013)

La CEI 61400-2:2013 traite de la philosophie relative à la sécurité, l'assurance de la qualité et l'intégrité de l'ingénierie, et elle spécifie les exigences relatives à la sécurité des petits aérogénérateurs (PAG), comprenant leur conception, leur installation et leur maintenance, ainsi que leur exploitation dans des conditions externes spécifiées. Elle fixe un niveau approprié de protection contre les dommages dus aux dangers que ces systèmes pourraient causer pendant leur durée de vie. La présente norme se préoccupe de tous les sous-systèmes des PAG tels que les mécanismes de protection, les systèmes électriques internes, les systèmes mécaniques, les structures de support, les fondations et l'interconnexion électrique avec la charge. Bien que la présente norme soit similaire à la CEI 61400-1, elle la simplifie et y apporte des changements significatifs afin d'être applicable aux petits aérogénérateurs. Cette nouvelle édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:  - le titre a été modifié pour mieux refléter le domaine d'application;  - restructuration en une partie Evaluation de la conception et une partie Essais de type pour harmoniser l'utilisation avec les essais de conformité et la certification de la CEI 61400-22;  - des précautions ont été ajoutées concernant l'utilisation des équations simplifiées;  - diverses annexes ont été ajoutées (conditions de vent, tempêtes tropicales, conditions d'environnement extrêmes, essais CEM, comportement dynamique).

Vetrne turbine - 2. del: Male vetrne turbine (IEC 61400-2:2013)

Ta del standarda IEC 61400 obravnava varnostna načela, zagotavljanje kakovosti in celovitost zasnove ter določa zahteve za zaščito malih vetrnih turbin (SWT), vključno z načrtovanjem, namestitvijo, vzdrževanjem in delovanjem pri določenih zunanjih pogojih. Njegov namen je zagotoviti ustrezno raven zaščite pred poškodbami zaradi nevarnih lastnosti teh sistemov v njihovi predvideni življenjski dobi.
Ta standard obravnava vse podsisteme enot SWT, kot so varnostni mehanizmi, notranji električni sistemi, mehanski sistemi, podporne konstrukcije, temelji in električne povezave z obremenitvijo. Sistem male vetrne turbine vključuje vetrno turbino, vključno s podporno konstrukcijo, regulator turbine, regulator napajanja/inverter (če je potrebno), napeljavo in odklopnike, navodila za namestitev in uporabo ter drugo dokumentacijo.
Čeprav je ta standard podoben standardu IEC 61400-1, vključuje poenostavitve in bistvene spremembe za namen uporabe za male vetrne turbine. Katere koli zahteve tega standarda se lahko spremenijo v primeru, če je mogoče ustrezno prikazati, da varnostne lastnosti sistema turbine niso ogrožene. Vendar se ta določba ne uporablja za klasifikacijo in povezane definicije zunanjih pogojev iz točke 6. Skladnost s tem standardom ne odvezuje nobene osebe, organizacije ali družbe odgovornosti za zagotavljanje skladnosti z drugimi veljavnimi predpisi.
Ta standard se uporablja za vetrne turbine z območjem delovanja rotorja, manjšim ali enakim 200 m2, ki proizvajajo električno energijo pri napetosti manj kot 1000 V (izmenični tok) ali 1500 V (enosmerni tok) pri načinih uporabe znotraj in zunaj omrežja. Ta standard naj bi se uporabljal skupaj z ustreznimi standardi IEC in ISO (glej točko 2).
