With the Barlovento Applus+ wind turbine testing laboratory, we can conduct a variety of tests on wind turbines in accordance with global standards. Our laboratory is accredited by ENAC / ILAC and is a member of IECRE (the IEC System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications) and Measnet (the International Network of Wind Energy Measurement Institutes).
Wind turbine testing aims to ensure reliability, efficiency, safety, and compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements of wind turbine systems, helping mitigate risks of failures or underperformance.
Tests we can perform with our testing facilities and testing procedures include:
Barlovento Applus+ offers a turnkey and full-scope service, which covers the provision and commissioning of the complete measurement systems, including:
These services are provided in different regions, with local expert staff in our different offices, thus minimizing the reaction time in case the measuring system fails.
We also provide a full-scope service based on our extensive experience, which involves consultancy services during the different stages of the test, from the definition of contractual warranties and test configuration to the analysis of the result.
Barlovento Applus+ employs its own home-developed software packages that have been tested within the international forums (IECRE and/or MEASNET). This ensures the highest quality, reproducibility, the reduction of uncertainties, and prompt results delivery, making decision-making easier during the test's progress and analysis of the test results.
We provide a wide experience in wind turbine testing covering, among others:
Our Barlovento Applus+ wind turbine testing laboratory is accredited by ENAC / ILAC (accreditation n. 473/LE 1004 and 613/LE 1315) and also recognized as RETL under the international scheme applying to the wind sector IECRE. We also actively participate in international working groups and forums aimed at the development of global standards and schemes, such as IEC and IECRE forums.
Wind turbine tests and related services are performed during the different phases of the project, from the development stage (contractual warranties negotiations, test definition, or environmental assessment…) to the operational one (performance verification and/or analysis of site-specific performance and root failure analysis).
Wind consulting services during project development phases help mitigate risks by defining tests tailored to the wind project's site-specific conditions. Unlike generic specifications that may not accurately represent the project, adapting tests to a specific project ensures the turbines' performance is verified under real project conditions.
Carrying out the verification tests ensures the viability of the project as it provides evidence of:
