Improving the cost effectiveness and availability of wind farms is an ongoing challenge for both Operators and Turbine Manufacturers. Larger, more efficient and more reliable turbines together with improved operational management combine to reduce the cost per KWh and ensure the critical role for Wind Energy in meeting the Worlds energy needs. Insensys is focused on designing, developing and testing fibre optic blade monitoring products specifically targeted at increasing operational availability and facilitating larger, more cost effective and reliable turbines, systems which meet and exceed the high operational and environmental demands while in service.
Our systems have been installed and tested in numerous field and laboratory trials, by both customers and accredited test institutions. Prior to dispatch each system is exposed to a harsh program of compliance and environmental testing by the Insensys engineering team to ensure the high levels of product quality for which Insensys is known.
Insensys provides 3 products based on our unique fibre optic load and strain monitoring technology
IPC - Individual Pitch Control
A system designed for full integration within the wind turbine's pitch control system to interface with the turbine PLC and to provide very significant load reduction for blades, drive train and tower, and cost reduction benefits for the turbine manufacturer. >MORE
RMS - Rotor Monitoring System
Delivering real time condition monitoring data for the turbine operator on Blade Ice Build up and removal, lightning strike detection and intensity measurement, blade and rotor imbalance, blade load history and blade damage to enable optimization of energy output and maintenance scheduling, so that the overall turbine availability and efficiency can be significantly increased. >MORE
TM - Test & Measurement
A cost effective strain measurement system for component design verification, testing campaigns and blade qualification. The system is particularly suited to static and dynamic blade testing in addition to field testing. >MORE
