TUV NEL has been awarded a contract by DIUS (Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills) in support of its National Wind Energy Metrology Centre.
In addition to support for larger wind farm sized machines, this new
funding will pave the way forward for small and micro wind turbines.
TUV NEL's wind energy metrology centre will provide the underpinning
metrology and knowledge transfer that will allow the wind industry at
large to establish new test procedures and methodologies.? Work is
already underway in support of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme
(MCS), which was introduced in 2006 to verify the performance,
reliability, and safety of wind turbines.
