This Amendment prescribes detailed test items for new renewable energy
systems for which a testing system has been newly inserted in accordance with
amendments to the Enforcement Rule of the Electrical Safety Management Act and
Enforcement Rule of the Electric Utility Act, and otherwise ensures the safety
management of electrical installations.
2. Major Provisions
A. Newly insert detailed matters regarding
“upon completion” pre-use inspections of wind turbine systems (attached Table 9
Ⅰ- 5 □ Upon
Completion)
ㅇ Newly insert test
items to check for compliance with KS certification and quality standards at
the manufacturing stage such as the welding and assembly of blades, nacelles,
towers, etc.
*
(Test items) Cite KS standards and American Welding Society (AWS) and American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) codes, and prescribe test items agreed
upon with wind turbine system manufacturers
B. Newly insert detailed matters regarding
“civil engineering basics” periodic inspections of wind turbine systems
(attached Table 9 Ⅱ-5 □ Civil
Engineering Basics)
ㅇ Prescribe that
routine inspection items shall be pre-use inspection items on the foundation
work of wind turbine systems that are minimum items* requiring
periodic maintenance
* (Test items) Maintenance condition of basic structures
of wind towers and generator systems, corrosion, anchorage installation, anchor
bolt torque
C. Restore the “comprehensive inspection”
process for wind turbine systems (attached Table 9 Ⅱ-5 □ Comprehensive Inspections)
ㅇ
Re-prescribe, without changes, the inspection items that were omitted during
the process of integrating the former directive [Regulations on the Processing
of Tests for Commercial Electrical Installations, attached Table 1 Ⅱ- 5 (Wind Turbine Systems) □
Comprehensive Inspections] into the Notice
D. Separate and newly insert detailed
matters on routine inspections of solar power system sites and structures
(attached Table 9 Ⅱ-6 □ Sites
and Structures, □ Comprehensive Inspections)
ㅇ Separate
routine inspections of solar power system sites and structures as a separate
process to account for the difference in inspection frequency* compared to
comprehensive inspections
*
(Inspection frequency) Comprehensive inspection of solar power systems: 4
years, site and structure inspections: 2 years
ㅇ Prescribe detailed
matters on routine inspections of BIPV, BAPV, and aquatic structures due to
electrical and architectural risk factors resulting from deterioration caused
by the external environment
E. Newly insert detailed matters on routine
inspections of substation facilities and transmission lines involving new
renewable energy electricity generation business entities (attached Table 9 Ⅱ- 10 □ Substation Facilities, □
Transmission Lines)
ㅇ Prescribe
detailed matters on routine inspections of substation facilities and
transmission lines involving new renewable energy electricity generation
business entities equivalent to inspection details and inspectee information
for regional electric utility business entities in attached Table 9 Ⅱ- 8, which have the same system
composition
