scope:

This European Standard defines a method for the assessment of electricity generation onsite or nearby the building environment onsite or nearby the building through wind power systems (WPS) and energy performance calculation of wind power systems. The WPS described in this document are small plants as they may occur in domestic production and use of electricity in connection with specific buildings. This standard covers wind generation power systems ≤ 75 kW.

This European Standard does not cover sizing or inspection of WPS.

Other generation systems are covered in other sub modules of part M3-8.

Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in ISO 52000-1.

NOTE 1 In ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.

NOTE 2 The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2 and Tables A.1 and B.1.
