TÜV SÜD Wind Cert Services: More reliability. Long-term profitability.

Wind energy is becoming increasingly important. Despite many other innovative technologies all parties agree on one point: The power of wind must be used.

But how to stay profitable? And how to ensure good quality?

The experience TÜV SÜD has gained in the area of wind energy over many years and our up-to-date know-how assist you in planning, constructing and operating safe and reliable wind turbines.

As a Wind Energy Certification Body we carry out certifications, approvals and inspections in the field of wind power and participate in the preparation of standards and regulations. Our engineers are engaged in all aspects of approval, design review and calculation (stress analyses, dynamics, life cycle assessment) and in the review, testing, approval and certification of all types of wind turbines. We have successfully supported numerous wind energy projects, performed wind measurements and evaluated many wind park sites.

German type approval according to DIBt
In Germany official type approval of towers and foundations may only be carried out by Notified Bodies approved in accordance with legal regulations. As an accredited certification body, TÜV SÜD is authorised to prepare such type approvals for turbines. Evaluation of the structural elements includes strength and service life assessment for key components.
