TURBINE ENGINEERING
DNV GL is a leading provider of independent wind turbine, tidal turbine and
wave energy engineering services. These are delivered as Garrad Hassan Turbine
Engineering, in recognition of our rich heritage in this field as Garrad Hassan. Our
Garrad Hassan Turbine Engineering services are delivered by a world-leading
design consultancy for wind turbines, tidal turbines and wave energy devices.
We provide design support services that enable our clients to progress from
a blank sheet of paper to a viable design. DNV GL has more than 25 years of
experience in the design of wind turbines, having contributed to the design and
analysis of literally 100s of wind turbine models. As well as providing a range of
specialised engineering services, in the last 10 years we have developed more
than 12 complete wind turbine models ranging from 1.0 MW to 8 MW. Garrad
Hassan Turbine Engineering is delivered by a team of 80 experienced engineers,
who combine experience of numerical modelling, control, mechanical, electrical &
marine engineering.
