Rugged Inductive Sensor Measures Rotation Velocity of Wind Turbine Blades
Summary
Modern wind turbines operate continuously in remote, highly demanding environments. Exceptional reliability is essential as opportunities for maintenance are limited. Turbine rotation velocity is a key operating parameter and manufacturers require robust sensor systems that provide accurate measurement in real-time. Rugged presence-sensing systems withstand harsh exposed conditions, both onshore and offshore, while delivering the required accuracy and reliability.
