The wind turbine test field Østerild ( Danish Nationalt testcenter for store vindmøller , dt National test center for large wind turbines ) is a test field for the testing of wind turbines with a total height of up to 250 meters near Thisted - Østerild in Denmark . It was established in 2012.

Seven test stands were set up in the test field, each 600 meters apart. 500 meters west of each test stand is a wind measuring mast that shows the hub height of the associated wind turbine. Two 45 meter high masts on the northern and southern edge of the test field carry measuring devices for wind speed and direction as well as temperature , humidity and UV radiation . In addition, the wind speed and direction are measured at different heights from 45 to 300 meters using three LiDAR systems.

On the northern and southern edges of the test field there are also two 250-meter-high guyed steel lattice masts ( north , south ), which carry lights to identify obstacles. Other measuring devices such as anemometers or wind direction sensors are also mounted on them.

There is a free visitor center at the southern end of the test field. In addition to explanations about the test field itself and its construction, parts of a tower, a scar and a rotor blade can also be viewed outside. There is also the opportunity to visit the currently active test stands on foot.
