Test bed cold climate for transformation to 100% renewable

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has made extensive preparations to convert an existing wind farm, Uljabuouda into a test site for testing the wind turbine for cold climates. Great knowledge has been created both through research efforts and market communication with turbine manufacturers, system suppliers and owners of wind farms. We have also tested different business models against the market. Prerequisites and knowledge have been created to go ahead and establish a test facility.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** A major effort to market the test site to turbine and system suppliers in various forums within the framework of the project. Experience from dialogues with owners of wind farms as well as turbine and system suppliers is that there is currently no industry standard for wind power in cold climates. We have also tested different business models against the market. The result is that the conditions and knowledge have been created to go ahead and establish a test facility.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Test bed infrastructure has been built, placement of test turbines, measuring masts, service building, system document for transport routes and environmental permits have been drawn up. Important work has been done for the establishment of a test site. Research in the field of wind in cold climates and the dissemination of knowledge through workshops have brought actors together and highlighted opportunities and needs. Dialogue with turbine and system suppliers has been conducted to verify the need and tested different business models.
