Renewable Energy Devices - Myres Hill test facility

TUV NEL has operated a remote wind turbine test site at Myers Hill, approximately 10km south west of our offices in East Kilbride, since 1984.
Myres Hill enjoys excellent exposure to prevailing south westerly winds. From a technical point of view, the site is covered in grass and heather and has low surface roughness. There are some large areas of forestry are situated approximately 2km from the Myres Hill summit.
Key features of the site are:-
  • Clean wind flow conditions allowing all operating modes to be tested
  • Close proximity to TUV NEL providing easy access by staff
  • Test laboratory buildings available
  • Unpopulated area permitting research and development and prototype testing of wind turbines
  • Long-term annual mean wind speed of 7.7 m/s at an elevation of 10m above ground
The site is serviced by 11 kV grid connections and can accommodate generated power levels of up to 1800 kW allowing a wide variety of testing, development and proving to take place.
