Safety High Risk – Inspections require the presence of personnel in harsh conditions.
Limited Visibility – Ground inspections miss micro-cracks, erosion, and internal defects.
Remote Locations – Remote wind farms are difficult and expensive to access.
With Drone Technology:
Wind farm development – pre-installation survey for planning.
Digital Twins for predictive maintenance – 3D georeferenced models.
Blade inspections using high resolution RGB cameras detecting cracks, leading-edge erosion, delamination, corrosion/paint degradation maps with annotated defects and timestamps.
Environment impact monitoring – bird migration patterns and vegetation health, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
