The deal is aimed at ensuring the quality of TMT’s new rotor blade products and also gives the manufacturer access to the latest innovations through DNV GL’s Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). The growth of affordable wind power requires the development of larger and more efficient turbine rotor blades. Blade manufacturers are continually working to deliver these innovative new rotors to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy, while improving quality and reliability.

The rolling agreement covers services including component certification, design assessment and lightning protection reviews, shop approval, laboratory approval as well as allowing TMT closer links to DNV GL-led industry research projects, which promote industry-wide cooperation on new solutions, standards and recommended practices.

“This framework with TMT will speed up the contract review process and cut the total certification time by up to two months” said Kim Mørk, Executive Vice President, Renewables Certification at DNV GL. “We now have agreements with the three largest rotor blade suppliers in China, enabling the manufacturers to get new products to market fast”.

Mr. PENG Chao Yi, General Manager of Wind Power division of TMT, added that over the last year, TMT has become the second largest rotor blade supplier in China and that to maintain that position the company needed a certification partner with a reputation matching its own. TMT has worked previously with DNV GL on certification products because of its high standards and technical competence. The signing of the agreement will help TMT streamline innovation and product development so that it can provide better support to its customer’s development plans.
