9 Standards Development Process

The Standard Development Process The basics: CSA assembles a committee of experts from industry The volunteer committee members write the draft considering existing work, over a series of meetings.

10 The Standard Development Process The basics: CSA assembles a committee of experts from industry The volunteer committee members write the draft considering existing work, over a series of meetings. Balanced representation from the industry CSA facilitates the process and guides the committee through developing the standard. CSA is a neutral facilitator Process is open, transparent, inclusive Decisions made by consensus: Substantial agreement ; More than a simple majority, not necessarily unanimity 10

13 TC C2302 on Wind Turbines

14 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 and IEC adoptions 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 14

15 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 15

16 Wind Energy TC C2302 Technical Sub Committee: C Guide to Canadian Wind Codes and Standards C Design Requirements ( ) C Design Requirements of Small Wind Turbines ( ) C Acoustic Noise Measurement (C ) C Power Performance Testing (C ) C Lightning Protection (C ) C Design Requirements for Offshore Wind Turbines ( ) C C22.2 No. 272: Wind Turbines-Electrical Qualification C Assessment of Site Specific Wind Conditions for Wind Power Stations ( ) C Safety of Wind Turbine Generator Systems ( ) Task Forces: C T Task Force on Adoption by AHJ of Structural Aspects of Canadian Wind Turbine Standards C T Funding Task Force 16

17 Highlight of Relevant Standards

18 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

19 C22.2 No. 272 Wind turbine electrical systems The committee decided that its time to update the standard This effort is mainly focused on harmonizing requirements with UL 6141 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,

20 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

21 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 21

22 ASME A17.8/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

23 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

24 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. 24

25 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 25
