Narec - Narec is increasingly recognised as the national centre for the UK dedicated to accelerating the deployment and grid integration of renewable energy and low carbon generation technologies, utilising offshore wind, wave, tidal, solar PV and thermal power.
Narec is investing £50k in a new FARO arm for the Blade Test 1 facility. This device will significantly speed up the process of test preparation by enabling 3D measurement of the blade in a matter of hours and will ensure that procured testing components are made to the exact dimensions of the test piece.
A 3D scanner will also be deployed during testing to show the displacement across the surface of the blade and this will provide a more comprehensive testing report for clients.Narec has or anticipates orders for the testing of three blades this year in the facility and is discussing testing programmes with clients for 2012.
