Coordinate exact equipment documents, tower and foundation design, source control, qualified construction, commissioning and the accepted handover record.
Collect the turbine, tower, controller, protection and battery or grid-interface manuals with model revisions. Resolve access, boundaries, foundation investigation and the responsible installation team. Record the intended operating envelope and the authority responsible for each required approval.
Compare candidate hub heights using the same actual resource and power curve. Obtain the complete turbine/tower load cases, soil investigation and structural design. A finite gravity-footing calculation may screen a specified static case but must not replace anchor, fatigue, settlement or dynamic checks.
Have the responsible designer document rectification, conversion, grounding, surge protection, isolation and the actual grid or battery interface. For diversion-controlled systems, verify source absorption and controller/element limits across regulation voltage, including what happens if a battery BMS disconnects.
Use the approved construction documents, foundation acceptance criteria, lifting plan and equipment-specific installation sequence. Assign work-at-height, rotor restraint and electrical/stored-energy controls to the qualified team. Record inspection and hold points before concrete placement, lifting and energization.
Record the approved inspections, torque records, protection and control tests, configuration and measured wind/output conditions. Confirm shutdown, diversion and restart behavior through the specified commissioning process. Do not infer operational acceptance from a calculator threshold or a single RPM reading.
Keep the accepted as-built drawings, equipment revisions, approval records, commissioning data and service contacts. Establish who will inspect the tower, blades and controls and under which procedure. Begin a measured production and downtime record that uses explicit dates, hours and meter boundaries.
Record documented cut-in, rated and cut-out regions without inventing intermediate electrical output. · Retain threshold-region observations with the actual control and restart basis.
Describe the actual rotor envelope and project clearances for the site plan.
Quantify the stated two-height energy comparison with the actual curve.
Compare supplied rectangular footing dimensions against a stated load combination. · Attach the limited static candidate record to the complete engineered foundation documentation.
Compare source-current absorption, controller maximum current and actual resistor heat limits.
Retain actual utility, metering and protection quote items and exclusions.
Compare measured operating points with the documented electrical curve on matching conditions.
Reconcile measured rotor RPM and wind speed without assigning a universal optimal TSR.
Build a measured energy-to-capacity baseline for the actual reporting period.
Reconcile production periods without assuming full-year data coverage.
Loading your checklist…
An installation needs the actual equipment requirements, site design and continuing service arrangements.
Minimum load absorption and controller maximum current are separate equipment constraints.
Bearing and stability calculations require the relevant load, contact and geotechnical assumptions.
One load case does not establish the complete turbine foundation design.
Review full battery, BMS disconnect and loss-of-load behavior with the exact manufacturer instructions.
