Drone-based predictive wind maintenance

01 Jun 2016

The importance of correct data processing.

Maintenance of wind turbine blades is an essential practice to ensure their correct operation throughout their useful life. Rigorous inspection and early detection of defects allow for efficient predictive maintenance processes, which will reduce the incidence of catastrophic incidents in wind turbines due to blade failure. The wind industry is showing interest in applying new technologies to improve these processes, which includes the use of SARP Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems. The application experience in blade inspection allows us to draw valuable conclusions about the present and future possibilities of these technologies in the wind sector.
