Technical guidelines
The development of the Technical Guidelines for Wind Turbines (since 1998: FGW Guidelines) began in 1992 with the aim of specifying measurement methods with which reliable and comparable data on wind turbines can be determined according to the state of the art. The measurements from the three areas – power curve, acoustic emission and electrical properties – should serve as a basis for assessing wind turbines, e.g. in licensing issues, when evaluating grid connection options or for reliable yield calculations.
