WIND TURBINE DESCRIPTION The test wind turbine is located at Ris Campus, Roskilde and is traditional Danish three-bladed stall regulated

Nordtank, NTK 5/4 wind turbine see specifications in Table 1. The wind turbine is primarily used for energy production and

is serviced on commercial conditions. It is located on the former Danish test station for wind turbines at Ris National Laboratory with free undisturbed inflow from the dominant Westerly wind sector.

The wind turbine is connected to local 4 grid, designed for test of smaller wind turbines. The 4 is supplied from the public 1 kV grid thro
