Encardio Rite sensors have a proven track record for reliability and long-term performance under harsh conditions. If used diligently, these instruments along with advanced systems like AMTS (automated motorized total station) can provide important quantitative information about the behavior of the key structural elements of the wind turbines and provide an early warning of any impending failure.
The data observed from the sensor-based and non-contact structural monitoring solutions for wind turbines play a vital role in safeguarding its structure, nearby communities and environment at large, providing timely warnings to take corrective measures. The cost of the monitoring solutions is not expensive compared to the losses incurred in case of any wind turbine failure.
Parameters monitored
Encardio Rite offers instrumentation to measure following parameters, generally monitored for structure and foundation of the wind turbine:
- Deformation, settlement
- Lateral movement, ground movements
- Tilt, inclination
- Displacement
- Stress, strain, pressure
- Load/force
