MTS Wind Turbine Testing Solutions

Improving wind turbine reliability and durability is critical to realizing the promise of a clean, sustainable and economically viable global wind power infrastructure. As the world’s premier test and simulation solution provider, MTS stands uniquely qualified to deliver the advanced mechanical testing technology and expertise needed to achieve these improvements.

MTS currently provides material, component and structural test solutions to many of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers, suppliers and research facilities. Advanced MTS testing technologies are simulating the multi-axial loading environments of wind turbine components such as blades, hubs, drive systems, bearings and more. Robust MTS load frame systems are conducting static and dynamic testing of lightweight composite materials. And multi-degree-of-freedom MTS Seismic Simulators – or shake tables – have been used to subject full-scale wind turbine structures to complex, real-world earthquake simulations.

All of these testing solutions integrate the very latest in MTS technology, including versatile digital controls, advanced test application software, reliable hydromechanical systems and precision test fixtures. Additionally, MTS systems integration expertise is proving crucial to the development of the multi-axial test and simulation technologies that will be required to test the extremely large wind turbine structures planned for the near future.
