LORC - Making renewable energy viable offshore

Lindø Nacelle Testing
LORC offers the world’s most realistic and advanced tests of wind turbines up to 10MW, on a site with unique infrastructure and crane capacity to handle heavy duty items up to 1000 tonnes.

A Function Test Facility with a 33kV grid emulator for the electrical testing of external grid events, and a HALT Test Facility (Highly Accelerated Lifetime Test) for testing of nacelles as well as drive-train components such as gearboxes and main bearings.

Watch the video below to see how LORC performs Nacelle Testing.

Lindø Component and Structure Testing is a strategic partnership with FORCE Technology – Denmark´s largest Technological Service Institute.
Lindø Component and Structure Testing is located on a 5.000 square meter field with offices and test facilities hosted in a 1.250 square meter test hall.

Mechanical Testing
The mechanical testing is done on a large area Strong Floor with reaction walls. Hydraulic actuators are doing cyclic mechanical loading on the test object in order to verify durability and fatigue properties.

Climatic Testing
The 900m³ (8m x 8m x 14m) large climate chamber can vary the temperature from +60°C to -38°C as well as control the humidity and add salt spray.

Lindø Welding Technology
The Welding Technology Center (LWT) is performing high power (2 x 16kW) laser hybrid welding.
