Wind turbine structure onshore subjects to wind gusts, storm and hurricane that may cause substantial wind loading stress on the tall structure with expansive turbine blades. Offshore turbine structure subjects to additional ocean wave loading at different depth. Wind and sea wave stress causes the swing or tilt of the supporting tower and the twisting and bending of the rotor blade.
AVANTE Cumulative Wind-Wave Stress-Strain Monitoring System is the first of its kind to measure the strain on the turbine blade and tower at various sections induced by the stress over its duration. The corresponding relative wind and wave intensity are measured at the same time for direct correlation.
Wind and sea wave stress causes the swing or tilt of the supporting tower and the twisting and bending of the rotor blade. AVANTE Cumulative Turbine Wind-Wave Stress-Strain Monitoring System measures the stresses of the wind and wave intensity and strain of tilt and sway along the various location on the support towers in real-time. Similar sensor configurations can be lined along the long axis of the rotor blade for the same stress-strain monitoring. These digital data provide the basis for both operational efficiency and failure prediction.
