Rotor geometry measurement, experience from the past 15 years

Over the past 15 years, windcomp employees have measured thousands of wind turbines worldwide, gaining interesting insights into the behavior of rotor blades. The trend toward ever larger rotor diameters poses major challenges for blade manufacturers in terms of manufacturing tolerances and the behavior of rotor blades during operation. Measuring rotor geometry during operation provides valuable insights into the behavior of the rotor blades and enables operators to optimize their wind turbines.
