Wind energy

Using wind to generate energy has been a technique used since ancient times. It ranged from simple wind wheels, wind mills throughout to sailing ships. The technology currently used focuses primarily on wind power systems with three-blade rotors in onshore and offshore facilities. With comprehensive services from a single source, TÜV NORD is dedicated nationally and internationally to this future-oriented and environmentally-friendly form of energy generation.

The TÜV NORD services also include the certification and inspection of wind power systems in the areas of planning, manufacture and operation. These include:

• Certification of systems and system components
• Production inspections
• Site appraisals, project inspections, due diligence examinations, ground expert reports
• Performance curve measurements and acoustic inspections
• Quality management
• Risk and damage assessments
• Acceptance testing and regular inspections
