Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, Ørsted, Vattenfall, and other partners have collaborated in the TIM Wind project, supported by Energy Cluster Denmark, to develop comprehensive guidelines for the wind industry. These guidelines aim to streamline the structuring, categorisation, and coding of technical information, ensuring consistency across the sector.
Three guidelines have been completed and are ready for implementation globally. The first guideline is based on IEC 61355-1, focusing on document classification codes for the wind industry. The two latest guidelines interpret the RDS PS standard, based on ISO/IEC 81346-10, which covers reference designation standards for wind power systems. One guideline addresses wind turbine components (tower, nacelle, and blades), while the other focuses on wind turbine foundations, including onshore, offshore, and floating structures.
In the long term, the partners aim to extend these guidelines to cover all aspects of wind farm development, including electrical systems, SCADA, and overall layout.
TIM Wind, short for Technical Information Management for the Wind Industry, commenced at the end of 2019 and is funded by the wind industry. Partners involved include Vestas Wind Systems, Nordex Acciona, GE Vernova Offshore Wind, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Vattenfall, Ørsted, RWE, Equinor, and DNV. Energy Cluster Denmark is facilitating this innovation project.
