b. Model name

c. IEC Design Class and/or design 50-yr extreme wind speed, Ve50

d. Design turbine system lifetime

e. Rotor diameter

f. Hub height

g. Tower type

h. Rated electrical power

i. Rated wind speed (lowest wind speed at which turbine produces rated power).

j. Rated rotor speed (lowest rotor speed at which turbine produces rated power).

k. Rotor speed range during power production.

l. Power regulation (variable pitch, stalled regulation, furling, or other)

m. Cut-in wind speed

n. Blade specification (such as injection molded, fiberglass, etc)

o. Active or passive yaw control

p. Gearbox type

2. Electrical system description

a. Design nominal voltage and frequency at terminals.

b. Maximum current at terminals.

c. 1-line drawing showing enclosures, devices outside of enclosures (if any) and wire size/type.

d. Recommended fuse type and size or circuit breaker setting.

e. Recommendations for shut-off/lock-out switch size and characteristics.

f. Generator type, and make and model, if not custom to turbine

g. Inverter (make and model, if not custom to turbine)

h. Turbine controller (configuration)

i. Turbine controller software

3. Tower and foundation design calculations. Engineering documents to satisfy a building inspector that the turbine support system is adequate to sustain the ‘ultimate wind load’ per local rules, codes, and regulations.

4. Installation manual or equivalent that includes:

a. List of all equipment required for the turbine system and for installation.

b. Installation procedures and equipment listing/specifications.

c. Commissioning test procedure/checklist.

d. Bolt-tightening specifications (lubrication or thread-locking compound, and torque).

e. Electrical schematic.

5. Operation manual or equivalent that includes:

a. Description of turbine controls, functions, indicating lights, and readouts.

b. Environmental conditions under which turbine will automatically shut down.

c. Environmental conditions under which turbine should be manually shut down.

d. Description of start-up method.

e. Description of normal shut-down method.

f. Description of emergency shut-down method.

g. Description of any self-testing functions.

6. Maintenance manual or equivalent that includes:

a. Periodic inspection conditions and special conditions that might require inspection (such as after exposure to winds of some specified velocity)

b. Scheduled maintenance frequency and activity.

c. Listing of possible problems, their symptoms, and expected owner response.

d. Listing and description of repairs that can be executed by an untrained homeowner.

e. Replacement schedule and cost for any parts not expected to last the full lifetime of the turbine system.

7. Critical characteristics required for testing including:

a. Predicted tabulated power curve.

b. A list of critical functions of the control and protection system.
