BÜV-Empfehlungen für die Überwachung von Windenergieanlagen

BÜV recommendations for supervision of onshore wind energy plants

In the last two decades, the sector of wind energy plants has grown rapidly and therefore enabled also a dynamic development of relevant technologies.
Initiated by revision of the Renewable Energy Law as well as by the expiration of the approved life of first generation plants, the replacement of ancient wind energy plants has gained increasing significance. Increasing rotor diameters and tower heights lead additionally to new demands on structural engineers, checking engineers and supervisors.
In the attached text recommendations of the Bau-Überwachungsverein BÜV regarding site supervision and periodic inspections of onshore wind energy plants are presented.
