DNV-ST-0119 Floating wind turbines

The standard (ST) provides principles, technical requirements and guidance for design, construction and in-service inspection of floating wind turbines and floating offshore substations.

The objectives of this standard are to:

• Provide an internationally acceptable level of safety by defining minimum requirements for structures and relevant components in the context of floating wind turbine and floating offshore substation
• Serve as a basis and reference document for third party assessment of design, construction, and in-service inspection, namely:
  • Classification of floating wind installations according to DNV-RU-OU-0512 utilizing the approach of classification of ships and floating structures
  • Certification of floating wind turbines according to DNV-SE-0422 utilizing the approach of certification of offshore wind turbines and wind farms
  • Support certification of floating wind turbines according to other certification schemes
• Serve as a contractual reference document between suppliers and purchasers
• Serve as a guideline for designers, suppliers, purchasers and regulators
• Supplement existing standards for the wind and offshore industry for application on floating wind turbines.
