ISO 10816-21:2015

Mechanical vibration - Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts - Part 21 : horizontal axis wind turbines with gearbox

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.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
