Hyperspectral imaging applied for the detection of wind turbine blade damage and icing - ScienceDirect
Despite the enhancement in the wind energy sector, the wind turbine industry still faces certain limitations due to some manufacturing and environmental factors. Blades are one of the major components of the wind turbine. During their lifetime, these blades are susceptible to deterioration and normal wear and tear that limit their efficiency and result in higher maintenance costs and longer turbine downtime. Periodic inspections must be performed to detect faults at an early stage and help in mitigating these shortcomings.....
