2Scope / Description
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61400 includes:
• definition and specification of the quantities to be determined for characterizing
the electrical characteristics of a grid-connected wind turbine ;
• measurement procedures for quantifying the electrical characteristics;
• procedures for assessing compliance with electrical connection requirements, including
estimation of the power quality expected from the wind turbine type when deployed at a specific site.
The measurement procedures are valid for single wind turbines with a three-phase grid connection. The measurement procedures are valid for any
size of wind turbine , though this part of IEC 61400 only requires wind turbine types intended for connection to an electricity supply network to be tested and characterized
as specified in this part of IEC 61400.
The measured characteristics are valid for the specific configuration and operational mode of the assessed wind turbine product platform. If a measured property is based on control parameters and the behavior
of the wind turbine can be changed for this property, it is stated in the test report. Example: Grid
protection, where the disconnect level is based on a parameter and the test...
