Siemens Gamesa has chosen TUV Nord to certify the turbine manufacturer's new 10MW offshore wind turbine.
The first prototype of the 10.0-193 DD machine will be built this year with TUV Nord carrying out design checks and the type testing campaign.
The latter will involve load validation and performance measurements, as well as safety and functional tests.
TUV Nord will ascertain whether the turbine meets with the design evaluation.
The company will also monitor production of the main components and the final assembly of the hub and nacelle to ensure compliance with the design requirements and Siemens Gamesa's specifications.
TUV Nord energy industrial services business unit member Silvio Konrad said: “With the SG 10.0-193 DD, Siemens Gamesa is launching one of the most powerful offshore wind turbines on the market."
“We are pleased to announce that Siemens Gamesa, after certification of wind turbines based on the G2 and D3 onshore platforms, now also has the confidence to partner with their offshore developments.”
