Certification is an important step before wide commercial deployment of small- and medium-scale wind turbines that produce distributed wind energy, which is used in homes, schools, farms, and remote communities at or near where it is generated.
. But certification is also a complicated and costly process that can be tricky for smaller companies like QED Wind Power, whose Phoenix 20-kilowatt wind turbine system is currently undergoing certification.
By funding the International Code Council’s Small Wind Certification Council to cover the cost of preliminary reviews for certification applicants, NREL is helping ensure that turbine designs are ready to successfully complete the certification process. “NREL subcontracted ICC-SWCC to fund preliminary certification reviews, thus removing a cost barrier and encouraging more turbine manufacturers to start the certification process,” said Brent Summerville, NREL’stechnical lead. “This will place more turbines in the certification pipeline and provide companies with technical feedback on certification readiness in a timely fashion.”
NREL support enables ICC-SWCC to waive the $3,000 fee for preliminary certification reviews, which confirm eligibility and specific certification requirements. The ICC-SWCC subcontract runs through Nov. 30, 2024. “NREL’s funding will provide the incentive for more small- and medium-scale wind turbine manufacturers to start the certification process, which is critical to the success of the distributed wind energy technology industry,” said ICC-SWCC Vice President of Technical Services Shawn Martin. “Ultimately, we hope this helps move designs to commercialization faster and leads to more turbines being deployed sooner.”, is the only U.S.
