Successful Completion of the BladeSave Project
As a result of the fruitful collaboration between the BladeSave project partners, a unique solution for wind turbine blade monitoring, repair and management was born. The project sought to develop a condition monitoring system for wind turbine blades. BladeSave is a fusion between a Fibre Optic Structural Health Monitoring System, which provides multi-sensing capabilities (strains, vibrations and acoustic emission), and blade…
