Sensor-assisted monitoring of the production of rotor blades for wind power plants

Abstract

The detailed monitoring of the production of rotor blades for big wind power plants is becoming increasingly important. This is necessary since rotor blades from the current production are still subject to very great fluctuations in the material and geometry properties. The knowledge of these manufacturing-related deviations is indispensable for an accurate description of the plant's behavior. A valid modeling and optimization with regard to aerodynamics, structural behavior and design can only be carried out with real measured parameters from the production of the existing DFWind research plant.
