Prevention of Operational Hazards and Enhancing the Ongoing Maintenance

Monitoring of the condition of rotor blades is performed visually by experts every one to two years, but it is very subjective and superficial. As is common in energy facilities, the increases in stress resulting from greater blade size, coupled with the rising prices for rotor blades, call for a new approach. The continuous monitoring of the status of highly stressed parts offers preventative maintenance as well as troubleshooting of existing problems.
