The project involves the independent power performance testing of V162-6.0 MW wind turbines in accordance with the international standard IEC 61400-12-1 Ed.3, which establishes the methodology for assessing and verifying wind turbine power curves.

As part of the assignment, we will be responsible for the planning, execution, and analysis of the measurement campaign, including:

• Test plan development.
• Site calibration activities.
• Met mast installation and commissioning inspections.
• Supply, installation, and commissioning of electrical power measurement equipment.
