GE Renewable Energy has announced that its Haliade-X wind turbine has received a full type certificate for operations up to 14.7 MW from DNV. This type certification follows an earlier certification that the Haliade-X could operate at up to 13.6 MW.The process of certifying the Haliade-X 14.7 MW-220 involved a series of tests on a prototype located in Rotterdam, a port city in the Netherlands. The Haliade-X prototype has been extensively tested and validated since 2019. The first use of the certification will be for the 3.6 GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the UK. The certification can be used at up to 14.7 MW and will be applicable for the 87 14 MW turbines that will be used at Dogger Bank C. Dogger Bank Wind Farm is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Equinor and Vårgrønn. Due to its size and scale, the site is being built in three consecutive phases: Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C.
