The design service life of wind turbines is at least 20 years. Since additional maintenance work is cost-intensive, solutions for optimising wind turbines must be maintenance-free over the entire service life of the turbine.
This is where fos4X’s fibre-optic technology can be fully exploited since it has no moving parts, no electrical voltage in the sensors, and it is not at risk from lightning strikes or strong electromagnetic fields. The developments of fos4X are focused on robustness, reliability, longevity and maintenance-free operation, and are effective in the field.
