DNV has published a new Technical Note (TN) providing principles for determining site extreme wind speeds for wind farms caused by tropical cyclones.
The Technical Note “Site extreme wind speeds due to tropical cyclones for wind power plants” is a result of a global collaborative effort, with more than 20 wind industry players, including OEMs, project developers, designers, and experts from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. The document is published to increase transparency and to reduce uncertainty in the design of wind farms in emerging offshore wind markets such as Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the US.
