Tests and Calibrations

Power curve measurements

power curve measurement - two wind masts

Our company applies the IEC 61400-12-1 Standard and follows the Power Performance Procedure of the MEASNET network to measure the power curve of wind generators.

It is of a vital importance for all investors to know how their wind turbines perform and this is exactly what a power curve measurement of a wind turbine is all about. It ascertains the relation between the electrical power of the wind turbine and the wind speed at the wind turbine location. The purpose of the measurement is to evaluate the theoretical or warranty power curve of the wind turbine.

Wind Vane Calibration

wind vane calibration in test laboratory

Our company is accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, for the calibration of wind direction indicators including wind vanes or sonic instruments in the wind tunnel of the National Technical University of Athens. The cross section of the wind tunnel used is 1,4 m * 1,2 m and the instrument under test is rotating at a fixed speed of 0.50 ° / s by a controlled stepper motor.
