Description
This project will develop a novel wind turbine blade structural health monitoring system based on digital
cameras and image processing using an array of optical markers installed inside the blade. An optical system
will be designed, and a digital image correlation technique will be used to track the markers which will
characterise the dynamics of the blade during operation for both onshore and offshore wind turbines. The
output data will be used to characterise the blade structural condition by monitoring changes in properties in
real time in all weather and all operational conditions. For the feasibility study the layout of camera,
illumination and markers will be optimised for a real blade using the design geometry and structural properties
and proven in a state-of-the-art 7MW wind turbine
