CSA guide to Canadian wind turbine codes and standards
This is the second edition of PLUS 61400, CSA Guide to Canadian wind turbine codes and standards. It supersedes the preliminary edition published in 2008 under the same title but without the designation. Changes in this edition include restructuring of topics 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 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.
This Guide provides general information on codes and standards pertaining to the approval, design, installation, operation, and maintenance of wind turbines for use in Canada. Some of the information presented might appear redundant or obvious to a Canadian user; however, CSA Group receives questions from all over the world about these subjects and therefore some basic information about Canadian regulatory systems has also been included to serve these users. To maintain relevance, the intent of this Guide will be updated and reissued as required and as resources permit to reflect timely information on the state of standards, codes, and related subject matter pertaining to wind turbines. CSA Group encourages all users of this Guide to contribute to this effort.
