Holistic Blade Monitoring System
|
Wireless and flexible smart sensors are powered by solar energy almost indefinitely. Each sensor measures the temperature with an accuracy of 0.25°C and indicates the icing condition in several discrete levels. With this product, a signal is generated according to the algorithm as per DNV component certificate, which signals the system to stop due to safety-relevant icing. An appropriate density of sensors on the rotor blade enables automatic restart by ice-free detection.
The measurement of the surface temperature per sensor offers the possibility to monitor or evaluate the effectiveness of a rotor blade heating system. Depending on the manufacturer, the measured temperature values can also be transferred to the SCADA system.It also measures the accelerations that occur at the sensors during operation of the wind turbine. With this product, the relative pitch angles are continuously measured during operation of the system. The system automatically warns in case of deviations outside the limit values. The base station (one unit per installation) receives the data packages sent out by the sensors via radio. It is typically installed as a component in the nacelle, but can also be mounted in the spinner, in the tower base or on the ground. Several variants of communication interfaces (e.g. ModbusTCP, relay changeover contacts, GSM/3G, Ethernet, etc.) are available to integrate the data into plant control, SCADA systems or condition monitoring systems.
