Wind Turbine Health Analysis
Due to heavy exposure to natural elements and extreme conditions, the amount of degradation a wind turbine is subject to is largely indiscernible without close inspection. With Everdrone, our clients avoid the time consuming and dangerous nature of current inspection methods while staying under budget. Our final product is a shareable document that is clear, organized and easy to understand.
What We Find
- Erosion due to high winds and dust
- Cracking or flaking of protective films off of gelcoat on leading edges
- Gelcoat erosion due to UV-radiation exposure of an extended period of time
- Destruction of fiberglass composite laminates due to thermal expansion (freezing)
- Delamination to a highly stressed trailing edge
- Surface structure breakdown due to fatigue
- Stress whitening and debonding of matrix and fibers
- Linear, Thermal, and Radial cracks
- Corrosion
What It Looks Like
With Everdrone, our clients get a customized PDF report that makes identifying output-reducing issues, their severity, and their exact location, a simple procedure. Everdrone incorporates a thermal camera into our unique workflow which ultimately provides the client with an analysis that is as easy to understand as it is accurate.
