ABSTRACT:
A wind turbine testing system is disclosed for testing at least a part of the nacelle components of a wind turbine system when mounted on a load carrying structure of a nacelle, said wind turbine testing system comprising a test bench being arranged to hold said load carrying structure including said nacelle components, a grid simulation system comprising a power converter system and a simulation controller being arranged to be electrically coupled to at least one of said nacelle components and being adapted for providing a simulated utility grid on the basis of a power supply and at least one control signal established by said simulation controller, and a wind simulation system comprising a wind turbine shaft rotating means arranged to be coupled to a rotating part of said generator system or a generator-related system of a nacelle or a part of a nacelle located in said test bench.
