The process is totally non-invasive to turbine operations and there is no downtime involved as the turbines keep spinning.

Anakata will come to your wind farm and scan your turbines in operation and then report on the aerodynamic effectiveness of your turbine blades and produce recommendations for optimisation of power output.

Using this tool, we can also account for the specific blade condition when considering the optimisation of any upgrade.

IR enables us to forensically analyse airflow by looking directly at its temperature signature on the blade. The resulting images and data collected are carefully analysed to enable identification and quantification of:

• Blade condition, including AEP losses from leading edge erosion;
  • Blade functionality e.g. pitch misalignment;
  • Blade leading edge protection performance;
  • Performance of existing blade furniture;
  • Blade noises sources;
  • Blade manufacturing geometry defects.
