Wind Turbine Systems (CSC/IEC/TC 88) [campaign closed]

The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is seeking interested parties to participate on the Canadian technical committee that address Wind Turbine Systems (CSC/IEC/TC 88) and represent the following membership categories: consumers, industry, regulators and manufacturers.

The scope of CSC/IEC/TC 88 is:
To prepare international standards for wind turbines that convert wind energy into electrical energy. These standards address design requirements, engineering integrity, measurement techniques and test procedures. Their purpose is to provide a basis for design, quality assurance and certification. The standards are concerned with all subsystems of wind turbines, such as mechanical and internal electrical systems, support structures and control and protection systems. They are intended to be used together with appropriate IEC/ISO standards.

The SCC is looking for technical experts from the various Canadian companies that have a stake in the implementation of this technology to participate in the review and drafting of standards.

Benefits of Participation:

    * Membership in the Canadian committee
    * Mailings of draft standards for your information and comment
    * Participation in sub-committees
    * Ability to submit your own initiatives through the Standards Council of Canada
    * Attendance of selected events and committee meetings

What is Expected?

    * Active participation, commitment and a willingness to undertake committee work and prepare required reports and meeting documents.
    * Ability and willingness to meet and respect deadlines and follow SCC procedures, directives and terms of reference.
    * Ability to travel and attend meetings nationally and internationally.
    * Commitment to participate in committee work electronically and in-person.
    * Time, resources, and financial support to actively participate on committees.
    * Represent stakeholder groups and views. Consult with their constituency and bring their concerns to the table.
    * Ability to work within a group environment.
    * Possess the knowledge related to the committee or group.

Individuals are invited to submit their Curriculum Vitae (CV) along with a statement outlining  their interest and ability to contribute to the work of the CSC/IEC/TC 88 to the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) by October 28, 2004.
