IEC 61400 (International Electrotechnical Commission standard)

IEC 61400 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission that sets safety, performance, and design guidelines for wind turbines. It ensures turbines are built and operated consistently, reliably, and safely worldwide. The standard covers aspects like turbine strength, electrical systems, noise levels, and environmental impact. By following IEC 61400, manufacturers and operators can ensure their wind energy systems meet quality and safety benchmarks, facilitating global adoption of wind power as a sustainable energy source.
