About this Event
A one-day technical visit to Østerild for insurance professionals
We are pleased to invite you on a technical visit to the Østerild National Test Centre for Large Wind Turbines – the world’s leading onshore test facility for next-generation wind turbine technology. This visit is designed specifically for underwriters, claims professionals, and risk engineers seeking a practical understanding of how modern wind turbines are tested at prototype level, which risks are mitigated through prototype validation, and where residual and emerging risks remain.
Through a combination of a guided technical tour and a structured discussion session, the visit provides insight that directly supports insurance decision-making.
Why Visit Østerild with Clean Sky Ventures?
This guided visit to Østerild is designed to translate prototype testing into insurance-relevant insight. Rather than a generic site visit, the tour is structured to help insurance professionals understand what large-scale turbine testing achieves, its limitations, and how those limitations matter when underwriting, assessing claims, or evaluating technology risk.
- The purpose and structure of the test centre
- The true magnitude of 5+ MW turbines
- Structural, blade, drivetrain, and control system testing
- Instrumentation, monitoring, and load validation
- How new turbine concepts are stress-tested before entering commercial fleets
- Which risks remain unaddressed and the limitations of full-scale testing
Seeing turbines at full scale provides a perspective that cannot be achieved through documentation, certificates, or test summaries alone. The visit is deliberately framed through an insurance lens, helping participants connect testing outcomes with real-world exposure, loss scenarios, and portfolio decision-making.
