7 Standards Division Accredited Standards Development Organization in Canada and the U.S. Standards developed in partnership with industry, regulators, government, and consumers Reputation for independent and objective guidance (honest broker, consensus-based) Experience with sensitive topics (e.g. Privacy, Nuclear Safety, Mental Health) Major role in emerging technologies: (e.g. Wind power, smart grid, electric vehicles, nanotechnology) Strong international standards involvement (e.g. Secretariat for many ISO and IEC committees and WGs) 3,000 Standards and Codes 9,000 Expert Committee Members 88,000 customers 40% of standards are referenced in government regulation 150+ highly dedicated staff $60-70M annual in-kind contribution by Committee Members

8 Development of CSA Standards

9 The Standard Development Process The basics: CSA does not write standards; CSA assembles a Technical Committee (TC) of experts from industry Balanced representation from the industry CSA is a neutral facilitator Process is open, transparent, inclusive 9

10 The Standard Development Process Other key points: The volunteer members write the draft considering existing work, over a series of meetings. Representation and viewpoints from all stakeholders groups affected by the standard. CSA facilitates the process and guides the committee through developing the standard. Decisions made by consensus: Substantial agreement ; More than a simple majority, not necessarily unanimity 10

11 The Accredited Process Standards development process Project Proposal / Authorization Assign to Committee (TC) Notice of Intent Meetings/ Draft Public Review TC reaches consensus Internal Review Technical Content Approval Procedural Approval Final Edit / Publication Maintenance Can be in both English and French The high degree of process transparency and predictability is seen by stakeholders as a key strength of the CSA standards development framework. 11

16 Renewable Energy Standards Program

17 Renewable Energy Standards Program Program Summary Mandate: To provide broad-based direction for standardization in the field of renewable energy for products, systems and subsystems Renewable Technology: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Thermal Wind Energy Ground Source Heat Pumps Marine Energy 17

18 Renewable Energy Standards Program Highlights Horizontal program crossing several CSA program areas Advisory Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) established in edition of the Canadian Electrical Code (C ) revised to include a new section for the installation requirements for Renewables Section 64 Public safety at the core 18

19 Renewable Energy Standards Program Committee Structure Standards Policy Board Advisory Committee on Renewable Energy Steering Committee on Performance, Energy Efficiency and Renewables (C400) Steering Committee on Power Engineering (C500) Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety (C230) Solar Energy TC (C420) Earth Energy Systems TC (C423) Marine Energy TC (C600) Wind Turbines TC (C2302) Technical Sub-Committees TSC Task Forces TF 19

20 Renewable Energy Standards Program By the numbers 20 committees comprised of approximately 250 volunteer members Suite of more than 35 standards and guides, plus development projects o Many of which are IEC adoptions of performance and safety standards that establish the requirements for Canada 20

21 TC C2302 on Wind Turbines

22 Wind Energy TC C2302 Summary CSA manages Canada s Mirror Committee (SMC) to IEC TC 88 Wind energy generation systems Focus has been on electrical safety standards for adoption into Canada The TC developed the following to date: CSA Guide to Canadian wind turbines codes and standards C22.2 No. 272 Wind turbine electrical systems (Referenced in the CEC) Adopted six IEC series standards parts 1,2,3,11,12 and 24 22

23 Wind Energy TC C2302 Committee Structure A total of 42 members, 22 Voting members on the TC Representation from OEMs, Regulators, Engineers, Certification bodies and utilities Balanced Matrix Description Members count General Interest 6 Producer Interest 5 Regulatory Authority 5 User Interest 6 Associates (non-voting) 20 Standards Policy Board Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety (C230) Wind Turbines TC (C2302) 10 Technical Sub-committees 2 Task Forces 23

25 Highlight of Relevant Standards

26 C22.2 No. 272 Wind turbine electrical systems Originally published in August 2014 Currently referenced in Canadian Electrical Code C This Standard applies to complete wind turbine electrical systems and associated electrical equipment intended for connection at not more than 46 kv Does not apply to power performance of wind turbines as it covered in CSA C and IEC

27 C22.2 No. 272 Wind turbine electrical systems The committee decided that its time to update the standard This effort is mainly focused on alignment with UL 6141 standard where possible as well as referencing C22.2 No. 301 as a default standard As of now, the committee is reviewing the document and proposed publication timeline will be decided in future meetings Next TSC meeting is scheduled for February 15,

28 TF on Adoption by AHJ of structural aspects of Canadian wind turbine standards The task force Is working to establish a reference in the NBCC for wind turbine structures Since there is not a detailed Canadian standards on wind turbine structures. The TF is proposing two new adoptions: IEC ; Tower and foundation design. This standard is on the final approval stage and should be realised in Q IEC ; Assessment of wind resource, energy yield and site suitability input conditions for wind power plants. This standard is in early development stage and is not expected to be released in

29 IEC rd edition Adoption Design Requirements of Small Wind Turbines C was first issued in 2008 (First Edition), which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the CEI/IEC Standard (second edition, ) Deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineering integrity and specifies requirements for the safety of Small Wind Turbines The objective of this revision is: Review the third edition of the IEC Standard against the current Canadian deviations Adopt the third edition of the IEC standard with Canadian deviations as needed 29

30 ASME A17/CSA B44.8 Standard for wind turbine tower elevators Developed jointly by ASME and CSA, and is a fully harmonized bi-national Standard (SCC/ANSI standard) Wind turbine elevators (WTEs) were first covered in the 20 th edition of the North American Elevator Code (ASME A /CSA B44-13), Section Full compliance with the main elevator code is not practical or necessary. The requirements specific to WTEs were then pulled out of the main elevator code to create A17.8/B

31 ASME A17/CSA B44.8 Standard for wind turbine tower elevators A17.8/B44.8 now provides a more focused approach to the standardization of wind turbine tower service lifts. It applies to elevators permanently installed in a wind turbine tower to provide vertical transportation of authorized personnel and their tools and equipment only. The first edition was published in November It s Also available in French since August

32 ASME A17/CSA B44.8 UPDATES: Next edition is expected in 2019 Committee is working on including: Maintenance Requirements Suspension Means Inspection & Test Procedures Counterweighted Elevators Last meeting of the Wind Turbine Elevator Committee: Nov 8, 2017, Dallas, TX. Next meeting: Feb 21, 2018, Savannah, GA. 32

33 proposed IEC TS Title: Wind energy generation systems Through life management and life extension of wind power assets Provides technical specification for assessment of the turbines and their components during the operational life The complete scope would eventually cover all wind farm assets, systems, sub-systems and components Short-term focus wind turbines (both onshore and offshore but not dealing with aspects relating exclusively to the offshore environment, foundations and electrical infrastructure) Long-term goals offshore foundations, offshore electrical systems 33
