The New Vestas Blade Testing Center Will Expand Blade Testing Capabilities And Advance Innovation

Vestas, a global leader in sustainable energy solutions, will open a new state-of-the-art blade testing center in Colorado in 2024. The center, located in Brighton, will be equipped with advanced testing capabilities and will play a critical role in testing and validating Vestas' next-generation wind turbine blades.

The blade testing center, which will be one of the largest in the world, will have the capacity to test blades up to 120 meters in length. It will be equipped with advanced equipment and technologies, including a 120-meter test stand, a non-destructive testing (NDT) lab, and a variety of specialized testing equipment. The center will also be home to a team of experienced engineers and technicians who will conduct a wide range of testing activities, including fatigue testing, static testing, and acoustic testing.

The opening of the new blade testing center is a significant investment in Vestas' commitment to innovation. The center will allow Vestas to accelerate the development of new blade designs and technologies, and to ensure that its wind turbines are built to the highest standards of quality and reliability. It will also help Vestas to reduce the time and cost of bringing new products to market.

The new blade testing center is part of Vestas' global network of research and development centers. The company has similar facilities in Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, and India. The new center in Colorado will complement these existing facilities and help Vestas to maintain its position as a leader in wind energy innovation.

The opening of the new blade testing center is a testament to Vestas' commitment to the United States. The company has been operating in the United States for over 30 years and has installed over 16,000 wind turbines in the country. The new center will help Vestas to continue to grow its business in the United States and to support the country's transition to a clean energy future.
