StroboX for Wind Turbine Maintenance
StroboX Use for Predictive Maintenance of Wind Turbines
Challenges in Wind Turbine Maintenance
01
Ensuring the reliability and efficiency
Ensuring the reliability and efficiency of wind turbine blades and components (operating speeds up to 20 RPM for large turbines).
02
Detecting potential failures.
Detecting early signs of wear, misalignment, and potential failures.
03
Reducing maintenance costs
Reducing maintenance costs and operational downtime.
StroboX Solution
StroboX determines the rotational speed of wind turbine blades, uses stroboscopic imaging to visually stop the movement, and employs AI to compare real-time images to expected operational standards. This allows for early identification of issues and potential failures while the turbines are running at full speed.
