| Objectives | Design, develop and demonstrate a cost effective fibre optic based strain and temperature sensing system that is suitable for long term deployment in an operational wind turbine. Ensure short and long term measurement accuracy of the system through functional and environmental stress testing during the program. Develop a reliable and cost effective deployment technique for embedding fibre optic sensors in composite wind turbine blades during manufacturing. Develop a reliable and cost effective deployment technique for retrofitting fibre optic sensors to existing wind turbine structures. Total project cost = 427925, DTI grant = 104978 | |
