Application of Atonm Laser Sensor on Wind Turbines

Company Overview

The customer is a company in Shaanxi with five years of experience in the wind power industry. They provide advanced technical solutions to help improve turbine efficiency and reliability.

Project Requirements

Recently, the customer needed to collect displacement data from wind turbines to monitor rotor deviation and calculate wind forces and overall turbine health. Accurate rotor displacement data helps optimize turbine operation and prevents potential failures.

Solution

The customer learned that Atonm Laser Sensors had been successful in other cases. These sensors are known for high precision and reliability, detecting tiny shaft displacements to monitor data in real time. Below we describe how to apply Atonm Laser Sensors to meet the project requirements.

The customer installed Atonm Laser Sensors at key turbine locations such as the rotor shaft to accurately capture displacement. The non-contact laser technology measures and records real-time rotor deviation data.

The sensors were connected to a data acquisition system that receives, processes, and analyzes the displacement data. Wind forces and turbine health can be computed in real time and transmitted to a remote monitoring center for operations personnel to perform diagnostics.

Atonm Laser Sensors provide high accuracy and stability across environments with fast response for real-time detection and feedback. This enables the customer to better understand turbine operation and take measures to optimize performance and extend equipment life.

Customer Benefits

By applying Atonm Laser Sensors on wind turbines, the customer has gained clear benefits.

First, real-time monitoring of rotor deviation enables accurate calculation of wind forces and direction. This allows better adjustment of turbine speed and blade angle to maximize captured wind energy, increasing energy output and reducing generation cost.

Second, Atonm Laser Sensors support real-time condition monitoring. By analyzing displacement data, anomalies such as unusual vibration or offset can be detected early to predict and avoid failures. This reduces maintenance time and costs and ensures stable operation.

Additionally, the solution offers remote monitoring and diagnostics. Displacement data can be transmitted to a remote monitoring center so operations staff can monitor and perform maintenance as needed. This reduces manual inspection and speeds up response.

Summary

Using Atonm Laser Sensors on wind turbines enables accurate displacement monitoring and analysis, providing real-time wind information and turbine health status. This helps optimize performance, increase energy output, and lower operating costs.

Atonm Laser Sensors' high precision, stability, and fast response make them ideal for the wind power industry. We will continue to innovate and provide customers with efficient and reliable products and services to support sustainable development in wind power.
