CAN/CSA-C61400-1:14

CAN/CSA-C61400-1 specifies minimum design requirements for wind turbine installations in Canada and is not intended for use as a complete design specification or instruction manual. The majority of current and proposed Canadian wind turbine installations are or will be located in environments that experience icing conditions more severe than and temperatures colder than the icing conditions and temperatures within the normal design ranges identified in IEC 61400-1. This fact has been a primary consideration in the development of the Canadian deviations to this Standard. This standard is concerned with all subsystems of wind turbines such as control and protection mechanisms, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems and support structures. This standard applies to wind turbines of all sizes. For small wind turbines IEC 61400-2 may be applied. This standard should be used together with the appropriate IEC and ISO standards mentioned in Clause 2.
