UAV Application in Wind System Asset Management!!
Wind turbines consist of mechanical parts and huge turbine blades that are prone to wear and tear. Bird strikes and lightning strikes often leave behind small cracks and undetectable damage to the human eye. Using the rope access method of inspecting blades from hundreds of feet above ground is a hazardous task, time-consuming and inefficient. The inception of Drone Technology in the commercial domain has revolutionized industries and their data acquisition techniques. The wind industry has favorably employed UAVs on-site for magnified monitoring and surveillance. Drones coupled with AI and Machine Learning, present functional and remarkably reliable solutions for probing …
