15.4 Small Wind Turbines at the Folkecenter

The Folkecenter for Renewable Energy is an independent, non-
governmental organisation. It was established in 1983 to pave the
way for renewable energy by developing, testing, and demonstrating
technologies, which are designed for manufacturing in small and
medium scale industries.

15.4.1 Development and Testing

At the Folkecenter's test station for small wind turbines 10-12
small-scale windmills are permanently being tested, measured
various standards or demonstrated for national and international
clients. The windmills deliver more electricity than required for
Folkecenter's own power needs. A 75 kW and a 525 kW windmills
are the centre's own property.

Figure 15.6 Folkecenter test station for small wind turbines.

Manufacturers of small wind turbines can have their products
tested at the Folkecenter test station. It has platforms and
foundations for testing of electricity producing windmills of 1 kW up
to 30 KW and mechanical wind pumps.
The test station is equipped with data loggers, wind measure-
ment masts, towers for installation of wind turbines and water
wells where the performance of small windmills for electricity and
water pumping can be measured as per international standards.
