Why Are Standards Necessary?
• Without proper design standards, failures are much more likely
• Offshore presents particular challenges!2

Design Standards Process: IEC 61400-3 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
• Prepare preliminary design (“PD”)• Develop structural dynamic model of PD• Specify external conditions• Specify load cases• Determine structural loads and stresses• Check that stresses are acceptable, given chosen
material • Adapt design if necessary and repeat

Antecedent: IEC 61400-1
• The offshore wind turbine design standard started with conventional, land-based turbine design standard, IEC 61400-1
• IEC 61400-1 is still directly relevant, especially to the rotor nacelle assembly (RNA), and IEC-61400-3 is compatible with it to the extent possible

What is an Offshore Wind Turbine?
• A wind turbine shall be considered as an offshore wind turbine if the support structure is subject to hydrodynamic loading.
• Note! 61400-3 is not sufficient for floating offshore wind turbines– But an IEC working group is presently developing
guidelines for floating OWTs

offshore wind turbine site– Essential requirements to ensure the structural
integrity of offshore wind turbines– Subsystems such as control and protection
mechanisms, internal electrical systems and mechanical systems

Design Methods
• Requires the use of a structural dynamics model of PD to predict design load effects
• Load effects to be determined for all relevant combinations of external conditions and design situations
• Design of support structure to be based on site-specific external conditions
• Design of RNA to be based on IEC 61400-1 (to extent possible)
