Globally patented technology by
DYNAMIC BLADE PITCH MEASUREMENT
1° of relative blade pitch angle misalignment between two blades could result in 2% loss of power production and additional loads.
Technology
The equipment consists of a high-speed camera setup connected to an industrial laptop operating Ventus proprietary image processing software. The setup is located on the ground for onshore measurements or onboard a vessel for offshore measurements, targeting the wind turbine blades.
Measurement
After the calculation of the reference angles for each blade, the relative blade pitch angle misalignment between the three blades can be determined for the dynamic measurement.
Automated Image Pocessing
The images are filtered and analysed directly on site using Ventus proprietary automated image analysis software and methodology. The software uses multiple image processing and machine learning features such as pattern and feature recognition, pixel coordinates detection, etc.
Reporting
The findings are provided to the customer in the form of a report including results, conclusions and recommendations.
