ICE DETECTION
“Both the turbine suppliers and the investors want to see validated results from operating wind turbines. We also require performance guarantees; it is a very important issue to reduce uncertainty when we invest in windfarms in northern Sweden,” says Daniel.
COLLABORATION WITH THE NETHERLANDS Recently RISE has reached an agreement with ECN, Energy Research Centre of The Netherlands, to collaborate on the development and operation of the test centre. Together, the two parties have extensive knowledge in wind energy and testing activities.
RISE already operates field facilities in cold conditions in Sweden and has a long experience in measurement, testing and validation. ECN has its own full-scale wind turbine test centre and accredited measurement team, with over 40 years of dedicated R&D in wind energy.
RISE will build a test centre in northern Sweden that will provide optimal test conditions for the global wind industry.
They will collaborate on the planned test centre but also provide qualified services such as test and validation, data collection, measurements, monitoring and field services of prototype turbines, sub systems and components.
TESTS OF DE-ICING SYSTEMS Daniel is looking forward to the Cold Climate Test Centre. “Primarily we see the need for testing of de/anti-icing systems, but also different types of icing sensors. In the past, the industry has used commercial windfarms
