  • Multi-frequency-band blade condition monitoring system
    Patent number: 8757003
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring the structural integrity of one or more blades in a blade-based device, such as a wind turbine. Multiple frequency bands may be separately analyzed to determined blade condition. Physical and electrical (e.g., lightening) sources of damage, wear and the like are considered. Condition monitoring and alarms may be provided for alerting a user when blade operating condition is determined to be outside of a desired range of blade operation parameters. Timely and cost-effective repair of any structural or weather-related damage or other issues may be provided, thereby improving operating efficiency and safety of blade-based devices.
