DNV, the independent power professional and also guarantee carrier, has actually upgraded the DNV-ST-0119 criterion for drifting wind generator frameworks. The upgraded typical consists of many technological enhancements that enable the market to more maximize drifting wind generator frameworks while preserving an enough degree of security.

The primary modification is an entirely changed area on drifting security. In enhancement, different information and also updates have actually been carried out throughout the criterion. The enhancements are based upon market responses in addition to DNV’s very own void evaluations and also experience from jobs.

“With the need for decarbonization ever more urgent, floating wind has the potential to make a significant contribution. It could represent as much as 2% of global power supply by 2050, explains Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, Executive Vice President for Renewables Certification at DNV. “Sharing of lessons learned in acknowledged industry standards, such as those from DNV, are crucial for establishing an efficient fabrication supply chain, increased affordability and scaling up of floating wind deployments.”

“Reducing costs and at the same time increasing confidence remain the key issues for floating wind, says Kimon Argyriadis, Director for Floating Wind Certification at DNV. “Experience shows that certification against an acknowledged and up-to-date industry standard, is the most trusted way to deliver stakeholder confidence. It indicates that risks have been understood and minimized, ensuring quality and reliability of emerging floating wind projects.”

DNV has actually taken a leading placement on establishing needs for drifting wind generator frameworks. Inspired by the very first major generator, Hywind Demo, DNV released its very first standard in 2009. This was later on turned into a full-fledged criterion in partnership with 10 companions and also released in 2013. Building on experience from models, research study jobs and also the globe’s very first drifting wind ranch, Hywind Scotland, a brand-new upgrade was released in 2018. The newest variation of the criterion, DNV-ST-0119, focuses on clearing up specific concerns and also making the drifting security needs much more matched for drifting wind.

Both the solution requirements for accreditation of drifting wind generators, DNVGL-SE-0422 from 2018, which covers the growth phases of drifting wind idea in the direction of ranch implementation, and also the 2020 released course regulations, DNVGL-RU-OU-0512, describe the criterion for technological needs.
