LORC

Challenge

The old Lindø shipyard, a former dockyard in the city of Odense, hosts a range of incredibly versatile testing facilities.

Solution

Combining unique infrastructure with invaluable experience in the field of offshore wind energy and the facilities needed, Lindø Offshore Renewables Center (LORC) has become a place to test and push nacelles and offshore equipment to its extremes.

Result

Through LORC’s three different testing facilities, nacelles can undergo high-capacity testing, lifetime operational testing, and grid compliance testing, allowing for testing of components of up to 25 MW. LORC also offers extreme weather testing and mechanics testing. LORC’s unique infrastructure, manifested in its gantry crane, allows very heavy loads of equipment to be moved around, and the detachable roofs of the testing areas ensures flexibility in the movement of equipment.
