This paper presents a design of a test rig for structural static load testing of small horizontal wind turbine blades. It is a next step after the success of the DeVie project, a join-research project to boost the wind energy knowhow between Germany and Vietnam. According to the IEC-61400-23 standard for full scale ultimate load test of rotor blades, and based on existing facilities of HCMUT, especially the aerospace engineering lab. and the engineering mechanics lab., we propose a prototype of a test-rig for ultimate load test of rotor blades. And a rotor blade of 4 meters in length, manufactured by China, is used in case study of our structural static-load test-rig. The obtained results will be compared with the reverse engineering this rotor blade with QBlade/FAST in the same blade loading.
