DNV GL has certified Ingeteam new DFM 3000 Ingecon Wind frequency converter, which can be integrated in onshore and offshore turbines up to 3.5MW.
This is the first component certificate to be awarded by DNV GL according to its own globally applicable standard for electrical installations in wind turbines.
DNV GL said the standard combines all the requirements of the previous GL and IEC guidelines.
DNV GL examined the converter in all aspects of development, documentation and manufacture to ensure safety, functioning and quality.
“This component certification makes it easier and quicker for wind turbine manufacturers to use the converter in their designs, because only documentation of the proper adaptation and integration of the component is needed for type certification,” DNV GL said.
Ingeteam platform manager, R&D at the wind business unit Alberto Barcia González said: “Certification to the globally recognized DNV GL standard gives our customers proof of the high quality of our DFM 3000 Ingecon Wind converter.
“It makes the process of new turbine development easier and speeds up the integration of our components.”
