  • SENSORISED BLADE JOINT
    Publication number: 20090116962
    Abstract: Wind turbine blade subdivided transversely into two or more sections made up of a number of sensors, preferably load cells and ultrasound sensors, assembled into the mechanical joining elements between blade sections and characterised in that their measurements allow the loads to be reduced and the forces to be controlled during the entire life of the blade. They also allow damages to be detected (stopping the machine if necessary) and an optimised design for real loads.
