Nordex has assigned TÜV Nord to certify their new Nordex N150/6000 turbine.
The first step in type certification is the design inspection. This involves the experts at TÜV Nord critically reviewing the parameters calculated by the engineers at Nordex. In addition, some of the components undergo testing. This is followed by the type test, which will be performed next year once the prototype has been installed. Nordex will install this turbine in the offshore test centre in Osterild, Denmark. On the basis of the measurements taken, the certifier determines whether the turbine is able to withstand strain and yields the notional capacity. The final part of type certification involves production monitoring. Here, TÜV conducts inspections at Nordex and the suppliers of components to satisfy itself that the products comply with the designs and quality requirements.
