Posted on 15 Dec, 2025 By Secretary in Category General, Wind
The American Renewable Energy Standards and Certification Association (ARESCA) is calling for experts who are directly and materially affected parties who are interested in participating as a member of an American National Standards (ANS) consensus body, known as the ARESCA Standards Committee of the Board (SCB), to support the adoption of the following IEC TC 88 standards as ANS:
1) ARESCA 61400-4-1-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 4-1: Reliability assessment of drivetrain components in wind turbines (modified national adoption of IEC TS 61400-4-1 ED1:202x)
2) ARESCA 61400-24-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 24: Lightning protection (identical national adoption of IEC 61400-24:202x)
3) ARESCA 61400-25-2-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 25-2: Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants – Information models (identical national adoption of IEC 61400-25-2:202x)
4) ARESCA 61400-27-3-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 27-3: Structure and validation procedure of frequency domain models for harmonic propagation studies (identical national adoption of IEC 61400-27-3:202x)
5) ARESCA 61400-27-4-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 27-4: Structure and validation procedure of Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) models (identical national adoption of IEC 61400-27-4:202x)
6) ARESCA 61400-28-2-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 28-2: Decommissioning and preparation for recycling (identical national adoption of IEC TS 61400-28-2:202x)
7) ARESCA 61400-50-5-202x, Wind energy generation systems – Part 50-5: Use of scanning doppler lidars for wind measurements (identical national adoption of IEC TS 61400-50-5:202x)
If you wish to participate on the SCB, please express your interest by February 9, 2026, to George Kelly, the ARESCA SCB Secretary via email (secretary@aresca.us).
