DANSK DS/ISO 10816-21 PDF

ISO 10816-21:2015 specifies the measurement and evaluation of mechanical vibration of wind turbines and their components by taking measurements on non-rotating parts. It applies to horizontal axis wind turbines with mechanical gearbox and rated generator output exceeding 200 kW and the following design and operational characteristics: a) installation on supporting systems (tower and foundation) made of steel and/or concrete; b) horizontal axis rotor with several rotor blades; c) rotor bearing separate from or integrated into the gearbox; d) generators driven via gearbox; e) generators of the synchronous or asynchronous type (mostly equipped with 4-pole generator); f) generators with only a fixed pole number or which are pole-changeable for speed adjustment; g) output control by rotor blades (pitch or stall wind turbines); h) generator coupled to the power grid via converter or directly.
