The Small Wind Certification
Council (SWCC)
is an independent certification body and certifies that small wind
turbines meet or exceed the
requirements of the AWEA Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety
Standard. This certification provides a common North American
standard for reporting turbine energy and sound performance, and
help small wind technology gain mainstream acceptance.
SWCC issues certified turbines easy-to-understand labels for
Rated Annual Energy Output, Rated Power, and
Rated Sound Level. The label will also confirm the turbine
meets durability and safety requirements of the AWEA Standard. SWCC’s web directory
will include Power Curves, Annual Energy Performance Curves and
measured sound pressure levels for each model certified.
SWCC began to accept certification applications in February 2010. |
