Structural Health Monitoring of Wind Turbines and Composite Materials Structures
365 Days/year condition monitoring of wind turbine blades through photonic sensors and AI software
Page last modified
September 30 2022
AI algorithms and data capture systems using photonic accelerometers and other optical sensors, enabling predictive and optimised maintenance and lifespan asset management of these blades.
Our structural health monitoring system for wind turbine blades helps wind park operators increase electricity production and decrease O&M costs by reducing the inspection and repair downtime during windy weather conditions. Our system enables predictive maintenance for new and previously installed turbines, unlike visual inspection during which turbines must be stopped or solutions not suitable for retrofitting.
We believe in the power of innovation to deliver on our responsibility to make our world a more sustainable place to live.
Pro/con
24/7 blade monitoring without wind turbine stoppage needed
enabling predictive maintenance procedures for blades
remote monitoring limits the number of people that need to visit an offshore wind turbine annually for O&M and inspections
Enables optimal planning of predictive maintenance to maximise production and minimise total costs
