IEC 61400-23:2014

Wind turbines - Part 23: Full-scale structural testing of rotor blades

OVERVIEW

IEC 61400-23:2014 defines the requirements for full-scale structural testing of wind turbine blades and for the interpretation and evaluation of achieved test results. The standard focuses on aspects of testing related to an evaluation of the integrity of the blade, for use by manufacturers and third party investigators. The following tests are considered in this standard:

- static load tests;

- fatigue tests;

- static load tests after fatigue tests;

- tests determining other blade properties. The purpose of the tests is to confirm to an acceptable level of probability that the whole population of a blade type fulfils the design assumptions.
