Wind Turbine Testing
The Barlovento Applus+ testing laboratory carries out various specialized wind turbine tests, some of which are accredited in accordance with the UNE EN ISO-17025 standard. In addition, our laboratory is a member of IECRE and MEASNET, organizations that establish international standards for the certification and testing of renewable energy equipment, ensuring the quality and reliability of wind turbines.
Wind turbine testing services carried out by Barlovento Applus+have accreditation no. 437/LE 1004 and include:
Power Curve Test
This is a critical procedure to verify the performance of these components, which consists of measuring the electrical energy generated by the wind turbine together with the site-specific conditions of each wind project. This test allows to evaluate whether the specifications considered during the economic viability studies are met, ensuring the profitability of the project and optimizing your performance. For this test, conventional anemometry met masts are used, but also advanced methodologies such as LiDAR systems (either nacelle or ground).
Acoustic Noise
These tests ensure that wind projects comply with current regulations regarding the impact on the territory and minimize noise pollution.
Mechanical Loads
The objective is to ensure that the parts of the wind turbines can withstand the forces to which they are exposed during the expected operation lifetime.
Operation & Safety
The objective of these tests is to verify that the wind turbines comply with the design requirements.
OTHER SERVICES
Additionally, we carry out:
- Campaign of meteorological measurements for the evaluation of the wind resource*
- Monitoring of different variables of wind turbines in operation and analysis of their influence on the performance of the installation.
- Durability, operation and safety, performance and noise tests of small wind turbines*
* These tests have accreditation no. 437/LE 1004
