Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO151: Demonstration of Drone-based Damage Detection of A Wind Turbine Blade under Fatigue Loads in a Space-confined Test Facility
Mohammad Hedayatzadeh, Research Assistant, DTU
Abstract
Drone-based passive thermography inspection has emerged as a solution for offshore wind farm inspection, offering significant benefits such as remote operation and reduced downtime. This study demonstrates that drone-based inspection could enhance inspections inside test facilities. One key advantage of employing drones within these facilities is that inspections can be conducted without interrupting ongoing tests. By predefining a facility map, the drone can navigate and perform inspections remotely, enhancing both efficiency and safety. Although the inspection can be done remotely, the interpretation of the results requires a deep understanding of different parameters and their effect on the thermal footprint of real damage. The influential parameters include the loading, mechanical, and thermal properties of the material, as well as the heat transfer phenomenon. These factors influence the thermal footprints of different damage types, making precise interpretation challenging but crucial. To address this complexity, this study focuses specifically on detecting trailing edge debonding in wind turbine blades. This study presents a real case of trailing edge debonding detection using drone-based passive thermography inspection within a test facility, highlighting the technology's practical application and effectiveness. By narrowing the scope, the research aims to demonstrate the possibilities of drone-based inspection in a confined space that can drive further advancements in drone-based inspection technology, especially inside test facilities.
