The wind energy facilities at DTU Risø Campus are on track to becoming a central hub for testing the capacity and capability of several aspects of the wind turbine. With the national wind tunnel, named Poul la Cour Wind Tunnel and a Large-Scale Facility, DTU
Risø Campus ranges in the very top amongst the world’s largest university-owned and operated facilities in the field. The Large-Scale Facility allows for testing of blades made for medium-sized wind turbines. It has three testing stands capable of testing blades of up to 15m, 25m and 45m, or other slender structures, and it offers a variety of static load as well as fatigue tests. The Poul la Cour Wind Tunnel enables for consistent and precise tests of a wind turbine blades’ performance in different wind conditions.
