Test and Measurements

Our ambition is to stay world-leading in wind and wind turbine measurement techniques. By exploring new technological possibilities, we will continue to support the Department’s experimental activities, delivering measurements of the highest quality, reliability and novelty. Our ambition is to connect wind energy research and wind energy industry. By performing tests and calibrations for various industry stakeholders - especially at our test centers Høvsøre and Østerild - we contribute actively to research and innovation programs, developing new lidar applications and turbine test methods. 

The overall purpose is always to bring research all the way to the wind energy market. TEM contributes actively to the research and innovation programs with technical support, regarding all kinds of experimental work. Core activities are accredited power curves, load measurements, lidar calibration, and wind and wind turbine measurements within research projects. TEM has technical expertise within sensors, databases, hardware, and software and offers accredited measurements for the global wind industry.

TEM consists of a wonderfully diverse group of technicians, engineers and scientists. Together we span all the disciplines necessary for designing and conducting great measurements, mechanical fabrication, data acquisition, sensor development, experimental design, data and uncertainty analyses.
