GE Renewable Energy’s Haliade-X wind turbine has received a full type certificate for operations up to 14.7 MW from DNV
The type certification, which follows an earlier certification that the Haliade-X could operate at up to 13.6 MW, provides independent verification the turbines will operate safely, reliably and according to design specifications and makes the Haliade-X the most powerful turbine with a full type certification.
The first use of the certification will be for the 3.6-GW Dogger Bank offshore windfarm in the UK, which will become the largest offshore windfarm in the world when it is complete.
The certification can be used at up to 14.7 MW and will be applicable for the 87 14-MW turbines that will be used at Dogger Bank C.
The process of certifying the Haliade-X 14.7 MW-220, which builds on the proven Haliade-X platform, involved a series of tests on a prototype located in Rotterdam.
The Haliade-X prototype has been extensively tested and validated since 2019.
