The mechanical components, including the blades, of Wind Energy Systems (WES) are exposed to high loads and these are transmitted to the drive-train’s components. This means that the requirements on these parts are high, often resulting in tight manufacturing tolerances in relation to their size and mass. Reliable verification of manufacturing tolerances through accurate measurements is a critical part of quality assurance.
This training course is targeted at industry personnel, and it will describe the capabilities of various optical measurement systems as well as calibration strategies for rotary axes. The main focus will be on optical measurements of WES components, but the procedures may also be transferred to other industrial parts.
The course is an output of EMPIR project Metrology for enhanced reliability and efficiency of wind energy systems (19ENG07, Met4Wind).
