Structural Health Monitoring Static Test of a Wind Turbine Blade: August 1999

Structural health monitoring research is being performed by NCA&T, the NREL and Sandia Laboratories to develop a''Smart Blade'' with an embedded sensor system integrated into the blade by the manufacturer to continuously monitor the condition of the loading in the blade and reduce or prevent fatigue damage of the blade. This will reduce maintenance costs and improve the reliability of wind power.
