Periodic Reporting for period 2 - EOLOGIX (The first wireless wind turbine blade sensor for automatic, real-time condition-based monitoring)
Período documentado: 2020-09-01 hasta 2021-08-31
Our solution is an on-blade sensor system to combine 3 features: blade crack detection, pitch angle measurements and blade icing detection. Monitoring all these features will save wind turbine owners up to €2.9 M across the turbine lifetime.
Generating more green energy from both new and retrofitted wind turbines, thus reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing other pollution from conventional energy production is the main benefit for society from our product. Also, smaller maintenance (i.e. earlier detection of small defects) can reduce the environmental impact e.g. in comparison to the exchange of an entire blade set after a major damage. Within the course of the project, eologix has successfully entered the path and made the first significant steps from the supplier of a single product to a complete solution provider.
