Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) are designed to ensure the long-term<strong> efficiency of wind power plants. In the future they will also monitor important components such as rotor blades, towers and foundations. The focus moves here to optical sensor technology as an alternative to electrical technology.
Structural and condition monitoring on edifices such as bridges and buildings has been the subject of research and development for a long time already. HBK has been a specialist in Experimental Stress Analysis for more than 6 decades, providing precisely matched solutions for this task along the entire measuring chain. Numerous results of examinations have already been published in this area. [1], [2], [3]
