6 FAQs about [Wind blade power generation has a camera]
What are the characteristics of a wind turbine blade?
The blades of the wind turbine usually have a large area of circular motion during operation, with a circular diameter greater than 100 m. The deformation of the blade has the characteristics of a large overall disturbance and a small local strain, which requires cameras with a large field of view to capture.
Can videogrammetry be used to monitor wind turbine blades?
A high resolution over the local region is also desirable for cameras to detect local cracks, debonding, and other damage to the blade. Given the limited capabilities of currently available cameras, this is a pair of contradictory requirements that hinder the application of videogrammetry to the monitoring of the blades of a wind turbine.
Can image recognition detect wind turbine blade damage automatically and nondestructively?
The proposed model can detect damage automatically and nondestructively by images. An image recognition model based on a deep learning network is proposed for the automatic extraction of image features and the accurate and efficient detection of wind turbine blade damage.
Why do wind turbine blades need to be inspected?
Due to the important influences of blade failures on the operation of wind turbines, personnel safety, and environmental protection, it is necessary to carry out reliable and efficient condition monitoring of wind turbines blades. It is the confusing problem of blade diagnosis in the wind turbine engineering.
Why are wind turbine blades so expensive?
As a key component of wind turbines to capture wind energy, the blades are vulnerable parts of wind turbines and they are expensive, accounting for about 15%–20% of the total cost of wind turbines [6, 7].
What is the problem of blade diagnosis in wind turbine engineering?
It is the confusing problem of blade diagnosis in the wind turbine engineering. Since large wind turbine blades typically operate at an altitude of 80 m or higher from the ground, and the length of the blades can be more than 50–90 m, it is unrealistic to find faults by doing periodic overhaul manually, especially for on-shore wind farm.
