Composites (carbon or glass) and metals (steel, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, etc.).
Solving a major challenge in the wind industry
30%
Over 30% of blade maintenance costs come from surface defects
1 in 3
1 in 3 repairs must be redone due to inaccurate inspections
ā¬ 2.000
The maintenance costs for wind turbine blades can reach ā¬2,000 for each megawatt of energy the turbine can produce.
Traditional inspection methods fall short
Visual inspections lack reliability
Visual inspections are the most commonly used method for assessing blade coatings, but they rely heavily on the inspectorās experience and subjective judgment. This means defects can be easily overlooked, especially when they are beneath the surface. Furthermore, environmental conditions such as lighting or weather can impact visibility, leading to inconsistent results.
