Wind Energy Profile

TÜV NORD Group - We make the world safer

The TÜV NORD Group ranks among the worlds biggest technical service providers. With about 7000 employees - more than 5000 with technical background - we operate in more than 70 countries all over the world. The leading market position of the TÜV NORD Group is based on the technical competence and a broad service spectrum including engineering, consulting and inspection.

Within the field of wind energy TÜV NORD is one of the leading accredited certification bodies for wind turbines world wide. We certify wind turbines according to all international certification guidelines like IEC, GL, Danish approval scheme, DIBt, NVN and TAPS.

Beside the type certification for turbine manufacturers all services for wind farms can be offered from one hand. Wind farm planners get the whole spectrum of site assessments.

The results of type certification and site assessments may be combined to a project certificate. Site specific conditions have a major influence on the profitability and safety of wind turbines. Every special site with either cold climate, hot climate, earthquake zones or special flow conditions like on cliffs etc. can be displayed and assessed.

The operation of the turbines can be accompanied by TÜV NORD with commissioning inspections, periodical inspections, special inspections, such as condition-based maintenance, non-destructive testing and damage analyses to ensure performance, availability and safety.
