DescriptionThe section Wind & Turbine Testing is part of the Department “Measurements Northern Europe” and is located in Hamburg and Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog, Germany. The section measures and analyses the loads on the whole structure of a turbine, evaluates the characteristic power curve of a specific turbine, measures the wind speed on site and provides diverse services involving LiDAR technology including equipment verification, classification as well as wind resource and power performance assessment.
Our focus is on operating measurement systems in wind turbines and for wind measurements and provide high quality data and related evaluations to our customers.
The section currently consists of 19 employees.
Responsibilities:
- Technical Project Delivery of power performance and load measurement services, comprising:
- measurement system preparation (data acqusition and sensors)
- installation works on site and commissioning (e.g. strain gauge instrumentation on all major turbine components)
- remote operation of measurements
- evaluation and reporting
- project management for measurement campaigns
- clear customer communication
- manage schedules, provision of deliverables and project budget
- contribute innovation ideas
- Work according to IEC 61400-12/ IEC 61400-13 standards as well as the DNV quality management system in combination with ISO 17025 and IECRE requirements
