The basic fault types of wind turbine blades are introduced, a novel blade surface damage detection method based on machine vision is being suggested. The network of wind turbine blade surface damage fault on-line monitoring and fault diagnosis system has already been developed. The system architecture, software modules and functions are described, and given application example illustrates the usefulness and effectiveness of this system. The result shows that this system can monitor the surface damage failure of the blade in real time, and can effectively reduce the blade’s maintenance costs for wind farms, especially offshore wind farm.

This research work investigates the surface degradation of wind turbine blade surface insulator which is made from modified epoxy resin mixed with Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) in different percentage as a filler elements. Accelerated test with AC voltage of 4.5 kV 50 Hz with NH4Cl saline solution using flow rate of contaminant equals to 0.6 ml/min according to IEC 60587 standard. It was found that, the solid insulators which has 30 % of Zinc oxide (ZnO) and 20% of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) fillers prolong the process of surface tracking to the order of 5.41 for Zinc oxide (ZnO) filler and also to the order of 30.68 for Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) filler. On the other hand, if the amount of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) filler is more than 20% by weight, it will lead to a rapid tracking phenomena.


This article predominantly focuses on the performance estimation of a small wind turbine blade when a dimple arrangement is made along its upper surface. The dimple arrangement is grooved at two locations: 0.25c and 0.5c, where c is the chord length of the turbine blade. A CFD analysis using the k-ε turbulence model is carried out on the selected blade sections NREL S823 and S822. The continuity and momentum equations are solved using ANSYS Fluent Solver to assess the aerodynamic performance of the proposed design. The effect of introducing a dimple on the blade surface has shown to delay the flow separation, with the formation of vortices. Further, the overall performance of the blade is simulated using GH BLADED and the results acquired are discussed.

In this paper, large scale wind turbine blade has been taken for example and two harmful conditions have been chosen as the study targets. Taking a 25 m long wind turbine blade, its solid model is built in CAE. Then take advantage of Computational Fluid Dynamics software-FLUENT to analyze and simulate wind pressure of blade surface acted by aerodynamic force. By means of the numerical method to make curve fitting to bring wind pressure to bear on each cross section of blade accurately, and import it into ANSYS to do further analytical work. It shows that the work should be the firm foundation for further analysis of the wind turbine blade.
