소형 풍력발전기 날개 모니터링을 위한 FBG 변형률 센서의 적용

Arrays of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and strain gauges were used to extract deflection mode shapes of a small wind turbine blade made from fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). A cantilever system developed for this study was employed to fix the blade at the root. Impact Responses of the blade using the sensors attached from the top and bottom surfaces of the blade were measured. The fundamental frequencies and higher modes of the blade cantilever system obtained from both sensors were almost identical. Deflection mode shapes were estimated from the strain modes. The mode shapes were close but slightly different from each other. The differences are considered due to the fact that the top and bottom sections where the sensors were attached are Non-symmetric.
