Abstract
The Ampair 600 wind turbine is one of the candidate systems for the round-robin for dissipation measurements and prediction challenge. The Ampair 600 wind turbine was the first true benchmark system for the current generation of research challenges as it has been studied widely and shared amongst a number of different institutions. Unlike other proposed benchmark systems, it is not an academic system but rather a real application. Inherent in this is that it contains multiple challenges for the research community. The same system is already being used as the selected test bed for the Dynamics Substructuring Focus Group and is discussed further in this chapter.
