The efficiency of a wind turbine generators (WTG) influences the energy yield and thus the operator’s profit. Negative influencing factors, such as dirt or rotor blade erosion, as well as damage to aerodynamic aids such as boundary layer fences, vortex generators and zig-zag band turbulators can significantly reduce the yield. Thermography offers excellent opportunities to detect this kind of defects from several hundred metres away on the rotor blades of running wind turbines, in order to then be able to take effective steps to remedy such problems.
InfraTec does not have the power to change the wind, but during this online event, their expert speakers will explain how thermography can help you get the most out of your wind turbines. In addition, there will be a technical lecture from thermography practice.
A Glimpse at the Event
- General information about infrared thermography
- Presentation of different infrared camera techniques
- Applications of thermal imaging for the optimisation and further development of wind turbines
- Non-destructive material testing, active thermography
