Wind Turbine Manufacturers GE Energy, Vestas, Gamesa, Suzlon, Enercon, Siemens, Clipper

Wind, Goldwind, Xian Nordex & more about thirty LS-WTEGM 7,000 + wind turbines installed worldwide (07 +/- 8,500)

Commercial, Utility / Govt owned or operated

60 GW global generating ( 72 GW 07) / 10 GW in US ( 12 GW) Limited Available Certification

Use IEC standards that lack robust, up-to-date electrical shock, fire andHBSE / RISK requirements given diverse electrical rating ranges

UL Classification program is pending the development of appropriaterequirements

Technology and Safety Issues

Production of larger turbines 1-3.6 MW turbines have blade diameters of 60 to 115 m

3-blade rotor; a 3-stage gearbox is most common Germanys Enercon produces a single-gear generator

5 MW turbines are the largest; three prototypes are

functioning Site (Terrestrial / Near or Far off-shore)

Large amounts of land required; permit and site issues Offshore wind farms have great potential (Denmark

160 MW)
