January 14, 2015
+ + + Chinese wind turbine maker Ming Yang grants TÜV
Rheinland contract for certification. The project involves the type
certification of a 2.0 megawatt wind turbine, which will be marketed
particularly in India, but also worldwide. The turbine has a rotor
diameter of 118m and will be available with two different hub heights, 85m
and 90m. The project is being completed as part of a partnership launched

confidence placed in us by one of the leading manufacturers here
demonstrates that we have significantly expanded our expertise and
capabilities since we entered the wind turbine certification market in
2012 as the global certifier in the wind power sector,” says Frank Witte,
Global Business Development Manager Wind Energy at TÜV Rheinland. “We have
been able to substantially fortify our global team in recent years with
the addition of experienced engineers from the sector,” explains Witte.
“We have established ourselves as the local contact for the wind power
industry, and our local presence facilitates cost-optimized and
process-optimized project completion.” In Witte's expert opinion, this
offers significant added value from the customer’s perspective.
