AGENDA

• What does best practice look like?

• What information/data should be tracked?

• Should you do your own inspections - and how often?

• How to track the progress, quality and documentation of repairs

• How to manage warranty claims and get the most out of the FSA, through to extending warranty coverage and remediation post-FSA

Q&A - Your chance to pose questions to the speaker

• Technology development process
• Overview of measurement strategy and practical installation experience from the field
• Potential for future deployment

Discover a new technology and its initial, tangible test results. This presentation will show you how a successful noise mitigation strategy can reduce operational constraints, increase site profitability, and protect your long-term asset value.

• Existing inspection techniques: how are they progressing and what comes next?

• When is the best time for inspections and why use certain techniques?

• Baseline condition - when to inspect

• For what purpose are internal inspections particularly beneficial?

• Carbon fibre blades - more inspection needed and how do they benefit those types of blades performance? 

Q&A - Contribute to the discussion and put your questions to the speaker

Wind‑turbine blades are highly complex composite structures where even small, early‑stage defects can rapidly propagate under operational loads. Traditional inspection approaches often fail to detect internal or evolving damage, increasing the likelihood of costly failures and unplanned downtime. Advanced multi‑sensor monitoring systems that combine acceleration, acoustic, and gyroscopic data enable improved detection of structural anomalies and provide significantly more comprehensive diagnostic insight by combining vibration measurements with blade‑load and torsion data.
