Test and Measurements Programme

The research of this programme is aimed at the development of instrumentation and new methods for experimental determination of wind turbine characteristics, including test methods for the wind turbine industry. This group also represents departmental expertise in organizing and conducting field meteorological measurements, and in providing instruments as well as data systems and data management for the Wind Energy Department and outside clients.

The Test and Measurement Programme also operates a test station for large wind turbines at Høvsøre on Jutland's west coast. This area has excellent conditions, with high wind speeds and flat terrain. We can therefore verify both performance and the wind turbine design bases for all operating conditions relevant to large wind turbines. The test station operates five test beds for wind turbines.
