Research Facilities

Materials lab
The lab offers composite processing techniques, preparation of test specimens, accredited mechanical testing to meet industrial standards, X-ray computed tomography, electron microscopy, plasma treatment and surface chemistry, sensor instrumentation, and signal analysis.

Poul La Cour Tunnel
The largest university-owned wind tunnel in the world. It has been designed specifically for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic testing of airfoils and rotors. It is a closed-return tunnel with maximum flow speeds of up to 378km/h, similar to three-time hurricane strength.

ComponentLab
The 1560 m2 test hall has three stands capable of testing up to 50-meter blades. Advanced structural tests and loading of turbine blades provide accurate data about strength, reliability and fatigue. We perform experimental research as well as demonstration of sensors and new digital solutions.

BladeLab
The BladeLab provides the possibility to produce larger composite structures under controlled conditions.

Windscanner
Detailed measurements of the wind flow in the atmosphere are essential to optimize wind turbine design and siting

Risø Research Turbines
The wind turbine is used for experiments and tests of meteorological equipment, structural and electric measurements and verifications of models of calculations.
