Optimized Lifetime Extension and Early Detection of Damage on Foundation and Tower
The advantages of holistic monitoring with SHM.Foundation at a glance:
- Optimized lifetime extension:
The evaluation of the lifetime extension of the WTG is based on the fatigue loads that have actually occurred. In this way, the potential for lifetime extension can be maximized.
- Reduction and optimization of visual inspections:
SHM.Foundation makes it possible to switch from the previously used time-based inspections to condition-based inspection concepts.
- Preservation of the asset value:
Tower and foundation damages are a relevant risk factor. If they are not detected at an early stage, there is a risk of serious consequential damage, costly repairs and long downtimes.
- Identification of black sheep:
Problematic wind turbines with a high OPEX risk are identified reliably and efficiently with the help of comprehensive wind farm monitoring. Countermeasures can be initiated.
- Monitoring of foundation damages:
Permanent monitoring of problematic WTG foundations as a measure of object-related damage analyses or special inspections as well as to evaluate the damage progress.
