Leading in Wind Energy

UL provides independent technical advisory, certification, testing and
inspection to the wind energy industry. Our comprehensive portfolio of
technical advisory services help stakeholders plan, design, finance,
build, invest, operate, maintain, and manage wind energy projects. Our
certification, testing and inspection services verify the safety,
reliability, performance and compliance of wind turbines and
components. We empower trust in wind energy by helping our
stakeholders mitigate risk and navigate complexities throughout the
project lifecycle and across the value chain. With a team of over 500
experts and 35 years of experience UL has worked on the design of more
than 200,000 MW of on- and offshore wind projects in more than 140
countries throughout the world.

Leading in Solar Energy

UL is a trusted independent technical advisory, testing, inspection
and certification body to the solar energy industry. Our comprehensive
portfolio of solar services empower trust throughout the project
lifecycle and across the value chain. UL's technical advisory services
help stakeholders plan, design, finance, build, invest, operate,
maintain, and manage solar energy projects. Services range from
verification, inspection and risk assessment to testing and
certification for materials, components, products and systems. Our
deep understanding of codes and standards enables active assistance
issues and potential conflicts between codes and installation
requirements. With a team of over 500 experts and 35 years of
experience UL helps stakeholders mitigate risk and navigate
complexities associated with solar energy technologies.

Offshore Wind

UL provides testing, inspection, certification, technical advisory,
software and data, research and advanced studies that empower the
offshore wind industry. The strategies and solutions we employ are
trusted by manufacturers, developers, financiers, operators and
stakeholders of offshore wind turbines and components as well as those
invested in the development, financing and operations of these
projects.  Verifying safety, reliability and performance

UL helps evaluate offshore wind turbines and components. Some of the
testing services offered include mechanical load testing, validation
and type testing, power performance testing. UL is also involved in
offshore wind research. Some of the topics we have worked on include
incoming wind and wake of turbine, water pressure rings, wave loads,
and acoustics and operational noise, all of which impact performance
of an offshore turbine.  Working to overcome the challenges of
offshore wind development

Offshore wind farm development presents its own set of unique
challenges. Limited access to onsite hub-height wind resource
measurements makes it more difficult to fully characterize the wind
resource in offshore environments. Overcoming this challenge requires
a variety of creative solutions. From wind resource and energy
assessment, to oceanographic studies, to wind farm layout and design,
your project's success is our priority. Our offshore team specializes
in the management and integration of the multi-disciplinary aspects of
offshore wind development and has designed and assessed nearly 200,000
MW of wind and solar projects, both on land and offshore.

In the offshore and coastal development arenas, UL technical advisory
group designs and implements offshore wind resource assessments and
met-ocean studies, including met tower design and review. We employ
innovative measurement approaches using buoys, fixed and floating
platforms, and remote-sensing technologies for wind measurement and
atmospheric characterization. We are also a leader in offshore studies
that are paving the way for the development of a viable offshore
industry in the United States, including cost-benefit analyses,
industry data needs assessments, and the evaluation of new
technologies.  Certification for offshore wind

As offshore wind energy technologies advance their continued safety,
reliability, and performance must be assured. As safety science
experts, UL helps clients navigate these risks through type
certification and project certification. The UL certification confirms
compliance and provides assurance and confidence in the reliability of
the technology.
