MONTURWIND
A collaborative team from Natural Power (part of the Fred Olsen Group), the University of Huddersfield and Sensonics, are working on a UK government funded project for wind turbine blade health monitoring that holds immense promise for the wind energy industry. By leveraging sensor technology, university expertise, and real-world data collection, this project has the potential to revolutionise how we maintain wind turbines.

Wind Turbine Blade Condition Monitoring
Wind turbine blades can experience a variety of damage, including:
- Cracks: Can appear in the blade body and propagate rapidly, potentially collapsing the entire structure
- Delamination: Reduces the blade's stiffness
- Debonding: Can occur between the skin and adhesive, or between adhesive joints
- Leading edge erosion: Caused by the continuous impact of small atmospheric particles, such as rain droplets, hail, and salt
- Icing: Can occur in extremely cold weather
- Fibre breakage: Can occur in the structural elements of the blade
- Interlayer peeling: Can occur in the blade
