LM Wind Power's test facilities at the WMC Technology Center in Wieringerwerf in the Netherlands will soon house the world's largest rotor test rig.
It is a consortium consisting of GE Renewable Energy, which owns LM Wind Power, LM Wind Power itself, and Dutch TNO, which is behind the construction of the upcoming test rig, which is financed with support from the Dutch authorities.
The test rig will conduct in-house tests for GE Renewable Energy's wind turbine rotor and help optimize the design of more than just LM Wind Power's wind turbine blades.
- The establishment of the most advanced and largest rotor test rig of its kind shows that we are ready to commit to creating insight into rotor technology and going beyond just blade production, says Hanif Mashal, Vice President of Engineering at LM Wind Power.
The test facilities are scheduled to be ready for use by November this year.
WMC Technology Center started as part of Delft University of Technology and has been working with wind turbine blade testing since 1984. The center and its tests have been under the wings of LM Wind Power since 2018.
