Blade monitoring
Physical basis
•
Rotor blade vibrations give us information about the state of the structure
 Damage of the structure
 Ice
 Imbalance
•
Structural damages and ice change the eigenfrequencies: 𝜔 =
 Structural damages reduce the stiffness k
 Ice increases the rotor blade mass m
 Imbalance influences 1 (periodic excitation)
•
Vibration monitoring for detection of changes in the state of rotor blades:
 Detection of changes in eigenfrequency
 Detection of changes in the dynamic response

Blade monitoring
For reliable and sensitive detection of rotor blade changes there are two
sophisticated challenges:
1. Automatic detection of eigenfrequencies with high resolution
Spectrum-based:
Fourier transformation
• Resolution of f = 0.001 Hz required
• ∆𝑓 = 1 𝑇  T = 1000 s per window
• 5 windows @ 50 % overlap:
T = 3000 s = 50 min DAQ time
• Sharp resolution only when EOC
do not change in DAQ time

Ice on rotor blades
German regulations:
• Federal Immission Control Act § 5, clause 1, No. 1 (BImSchG)
 “Proof and verification of public safety”
Definition of areas with high risks of ice shedding:
• Technical standards (DIBt)
“ Musterliste der Technischen Baubestimmungen – Fassung März 2014”
Wind turbines that are located within a distance of 1.5 x (hub height + rotor blade ø) to traffic and building infrastructure
have to be equipped with an ice detection system
Hub height:
120 m
Rotor blade ø: 140 m
 Distance:
