IEC 61400 (International Electrotechnical Commission standard for wind turbines)

IEC 61400 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission that sets safety, design, and performance guidelines for wind turbines. It ensures that turbines are built to operate reliably, efficiently, and safely in various conditions. The standard covers aspects like aerodynamics, electrical systems, and structural integrity, facilitating consistent quality and compatibility across manufacturers. Overall, IEC 61400 helps ensure wind turbines are safe for operators and the environment while maximizing energy output and durability.
