Abstract:Wind power has become an important source of electricity for both production and domestic use. However, because wind turbines often operate in harsh environments, they are prone to cracks, blisters, and corrosion of the blade surface. If these defects cannot be repaired in time, the cracks evolve into larger fractures, which can lead to blade rupture. As such, in this study, we developed a remote non-contact online health monitoring and warning system for wind turbine blades based on acoustic features and arti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
