It supersedes the preliminary edition published in 2008 under the same title but without the designation. Changes in this edition include restructuring of topi

35、cs into four main categories and content revision to match the current state of requirements within Canada.CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Guide was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). This Guide was developed by the Subcommittee

36、on CSA Guide to Canadian Wind Codes and Standards, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Wind Turbines and the Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been reviewed by the Technical Committee.Notes: (1) Use of the singular does not exclude the plura

39、ne codes and standards0IntroductionOver a period of two decades, the Canadian wind-energy sector has evolved from a few small projects to one of the fastest growing wind-energy markets in the world. While this growth has been supported and encouraged by various levels of government across Canada, ma

40、ny of the projects have experienced cost and schedule overruns, litigation, and in some cases cancellation related to confusing or unclear regulatory requirements, which differ considerably throughout the various Canadian jurisdictions. It is important for the user of this Guide to understand that t

41、he Canadian regulatory environment is demanding and can be perceived as being complicated. Wind-energy developers are subject to dozens of approval processes involving various federal (national), provincial/territorial (state), and municipal (local) authorities. This can be further complicated by th

42、e jurisdictional makeup and ownership of the Canadian electrical transmission and distribution systems, which range from locally-owned private businesses to fully integrated provincially-owned systems, with a wide range of regulatory roles and connection requirements.In lieu of specific and up-to-da

43、te Canadian regulations addressing the subject of wind energy, Canadian authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) and professional engineers have used a range of reference publications to determine how to evaluate and approve the development of wind turbine installations with respect to subjects such as

44、 effects on the environment, zoning, power quality, grid integration, performance testing, and electrical, worker, and structural safety. In many cases, stakeholders have undertaken significant engineering studies to supplement the available information in order to demonstrate due diligence.A subset

45、 of the subjects described above deals with codes and standards relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, and operating characteristics of wind turbines. These are the subject areas where CSA Group input has been sought since the 1980s, when the following National Standards of Canada perta

46、ining to wind turbines were developed: CAN/CSA-C61400-1-08, Wind Turbines Part 1: Design Requirements CAN/CSA-C61400-2-08, Wind Turbines Part 2: Design Requirements for Small Wind Turbines CAN/CSA-C61400-3-11, Wind turbines Part 3: Design requirements for offshore wind turbines CAN/CSA-C61400-11-07,

49、tion Criteria; CAN/CSA-F417-M91, Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) Performance; CAN/CSA-F429-M90, Recommended Practice for the Installation of Wind Energy Conversion Systems; and CAN/CSA-F418-M91, Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) Interconnection to the Electric Utility (withdrawn by CSA in 2004).
