WIL-RM-S-SG-R1 is an optimized sensor with integrated strain gauges specifically designed for use in wind turbine generators. The sensor is adhered to the inner side of the rotor blade near the base of the blade. In conjunction with a WIL-BI switchgear and controlgear assembly, loads on the rotor blade can be measured and evaluated. This allows the wind turbine generator to be controlled with load optimization, reducing the load on the rotor blades to a minimum.
The sensor is part of the Blade Intelligence rotor blade monitoring system for wind turbine generators (WTGs). The Blade Intelligence rotor blade monitoring system allows for recording and detailed analysis of typical measured values for lightning currents, temperature, ice thickness, and bending moments on the rotor of a WTG. It consists of the corresponding sensors, preassembled connecting cables, and a WIL-BI switchgear and controlgear assembly (as the evaluation unit).
