Overview of Fault Detection and State Diagnosis Technology in Wind Turbine Blades

Abstract:

The blade is an important component in wind turbines, and the detection and diagnosis of its defects has become an important subject in wind power industry. This paper introduces the principles of the existing methods for state detection and fault diagnosis in wind blades, and then discusses the deficiency of each method. The existing difficulties and some key problems to be solved are also pointed out in this paper. Finally, the trend of its future development has been discussed.
