In-situ wireless monitoring of on- and offshore WINd TURbine blades using energy harvesting technology (WINTUR)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
"This project will develop an integrated system to monitor continuously the condition of wind turbine blades, without human intervention on site, using a novel integration of acoustic emission (AE) and long range ultrasonics (LRU). The system will use flexible light weight sensors. It will not be hardwired, deriving its power from energy harvested from the continuous flexing of the blade and trans ...

Development of a condition monitoring system for tidal stream generator structures (TidalSense)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
Due to the increasing demand for renewable energy, a great deal of effort is being put into the development of tidal power generation systems. As these systems go in to commercial production and service, it is important to consider and develop inspection and condition monitoring techniques and systems. Condition monitoring of such systems could be used to greatly reduce the risk of failures and th ...
