Onshore Wind Farm Inspection
Fleet-scale blade inspection programs for land-based turbines
Land-based wind farms spread turbine counts over wide geography, and the weather window is the binding constraint. Our onshore solution pairs rapid-deployment ISS-200 crawlers with fleet-level analytics, so a 60 m blade is scanned in under 2 hours and one technician can clear a whole string of turbines in a day. Standardised protocols make the results comparable across Vestas, SGRE, GE and Nordex machines, so trend analysis holds across the fleet.
Challenges
- Mixed turbine models across one site make manual inspection inconsistent, so data from two technicians is rarely comparable
- Weather windows are short, which means an inspection has to be fast and repeatable rather than thorough when it can be
- Data from hundreds of turbines has to be comparable before trend analysis means anything
How we solve it
- ISS-200 crawlers deploy in under 15 minutes per blade with one technician
- Standardised scan protocols return comparable data across Vestas, SGRE, GE and Nordex turbines
- SAS-300 aggregates fleet data into trending dashboards with automated anomaly flagging
Outcomes
- → Fleet-level trending
- → Standardised reports across OEMs
- → ERP / CMMS integration
