Wind industry companies follow a set of existing standards for processing technical information. However, the documentation of this information is done in inconsistent ways across industry players, which requires resources and time to clarify.
Therefore, Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, Ørsted, Vattenfall and several other partners have joined forces in the innovation project TIM Wind with the help of Energy Cluster Denmark to prepare specific guidelines that interpret the wind industry standards. This will make it easier and more uniform to structure, categorize and code the technical information. This is stated by Energy Cluster Denmark in a statement.
- What we want with RDS PS, which is the new standard, is to agree on a common language where we name the wind turbine based on different aspects in the same way, regardless of whether it is a wind turbine from Vestas, Siemens Gamesa or another brand. So when our customers like Vattenfall, Ørsted and others receive documentation from one of the companies, we have the same understanding and description in the form of codes, says Christian Lindegaard Hovde, Advanced Electrical Engineer at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.
Three guidelines are ready and ready for use in the global wind industry. The latest two guidelines interpret the RDS PS standard based on ISO/IEC 81346-10 ‘Reference Designation Standards for Wind Power Systems.’ In one guideline, the partners have focused on identifying and describing the components of the wind turbine; tower, nacelle and blades. The second guideline is centered around the foundation of the wind turbine, both onshore, offshore and floating.
In the long term, the partners plan to collaborate on creating guidelines for all elements related to a wind farm such as the electrical, SCADA and the layout of the wind farm. At the same time, it is planned that the new guidelines can be integrated with other green energy technologies such as batteries, solar energy and Power-to-X, so that an even greater effect is achieved.
