RIWEA: Robot for the Inspection of Wind Energy Converter Rotor Blades
The objective of the project was to develop novel technologies to completely capture the condition of wind energy converter rotor blades. Such state-of-the-art inspection methods as thermography, ultrasonics and high resolution cameras in conjunction with innovative robots make a reliable, objective and integrated analysis of blade condition possible.
Wind energy converter rotor blades must be inspected for damage at regular intervals. Primarily made of glass fiber reinforced plastics, rotor blades are one of a wind energy converter's most highly stressed components.
