Wind turbines become data generators

The wind energy industry is rapidly changing. The blades size continues to grow, and wind turbines are deployed at more remote locations. It becomes more important to maximize the return-on-investment over the lifetime of a wind turbine.

HOW INTEGRATED PHOTONICS SENSING CAN HELP WIND TURBINE OPERATORS IMPROVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Competition among wind farmers to make winning bids in tenders for new generation contracts while maintaining a healthy return on investment is spurring innovation in operating technology. Turbine operators are learning that advanced photonic sensing can provide more detailed, real-time wind turbine monitoring data, informing them about the behavior and performance of key components such as blades, towers, gearboxes and cabling.
