Supply chain customers are increasingly demanding that their suppliers quantify environmental aspects themselves, using key performance indicators to identify areas of alignment and opportunities for improvement.

Designing the world’s largest test system for wind turbines

Designing the world’s largest test system for wind turbines

When designing on the limit of what is physically possible, the things you might not consider a problem can become a huge challenge. R&D Test Systems experienced this when designing and developing the world’s largest nacelle test bench, “HALT XL”, at Lindø Offshore Renewable Center (LORC) in Denmark.
