Co-owned by the Danish companies Risø, Force Technology as well as DNV, the Blade Test Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art blade test facilities. While the old laboratory could test wind-turbine blades with a length of up to 50 metres, the Blade Test Centre is able to test blades with a length of up to 75 metres.

DNV Global Wind Energy has invested in a new test centre called the Blade Test Centre.

DNV Global Wind Energy has been a key player since the first offshore wind farms were developed. In Denmark, wind energy today generates 20 percent of all electricity.

"Wind-generated energy is a mature technology that is expected to take a significant share of the energy market," says Henrik O. Madsen, chairman of the board of the Blade Test Centre and COO of DNV Certification.
