About BladeSENSE
Issues resolved
BladeSENSE is an innovative company developing solutions to increase the profitability of wind turbines’ energy production by reducing the cost of energy. Through continuous R&D efforts, our goal is to provide operators and manufacturers with a complete solution to improve the production performance and reduce the maintenance costs of wind turbines by using data generated in real time.
Solution
Our services are based on two hardware devices developed by BladeSENSE which are:
1 – A vibration sensor for Ice Detection and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
2 – An aerodynamic sensor to know the Lift and the Angle of Attack of the blade in real Time. This sensor is patented and is a real breakthrough innovation:
• Detect under performing wind turbines with blade control monitoring.
• Follow turbulent flow in the wake of other wind turbine in the wind farm.
• Increase the production of the turbine in low winds or medium winds by improving the pitch control of the blade. It’s important because those range are the most statistically encountered winds.
• Reduce maximum loads in strong winds to anticipate breakage and increase life span of wind turbines.
• And the system is even more relevant for moving wind turbine like the floating ones.
