Thin-film sensors for wind turbines

Thin-film sensors for wind turbines
To operate wind turbines economically, maintenance work has to be scheduled for low wind seasons and during suitable weather conditions. A key technology for this is reliable condition monitoring systems. DLR is studying monitoring technologies based on innovative thin-film sensors. At ILA 2012, DLR showed thin-film sensors mounted on a bearing and a sensor element.
