MTS’ system will be used toapply complex, real-world loads to full-scale wind and tidal turbines duringtrials to check reliability and durability during operation.

The system employsstate-of-the art hydraulics and controls to introduce very large off-axis – ornon-torque – forces and moments into a rotating turbine drive train so thatdevelopers can accurately mirror a wide range of conditions in controlledlaboratory settings.
