DNV GL is collaborating with five local stakeholders in Taiwan to help develop offshore wind testing and certification on the Asian island.
The initiative aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and provide technical cooperation, the company said.
It has set up a local certification team in Taipei, led by regional manager Asia Pacific for renewables certification Per Haahr.
DNV GL has signed a memorandum of understanding and will work on the initiative with the CR Classification Society, Electronics Testing Center Taiwan, Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, Taiwan Electronic Research and Testing Center and Taiwan Institute of Economic Research.
“Fostering the technical cooperation and sharing experiences from DNV GL’s leading certification services for the Taiwanese offshore wind market will play an important role in minimising the number of design risks and creating confidence in the local industry,” DNV GL said.
Haahr said: “We welcome that Taiwan plans to invest significantly in human resources to establish project certification in the local market to guarantee safe, reliable and high performance projects.”
