Joseph Valenzuela from Pathfinder Optics shares some insights on the use of the Elios 3 for drone blade inspections in wind turbines. #WindTurbineBladeInspection

Internal blade inspections are a fundamental part of wind turbine maintenance operations. Unreported cracks, blisters, or fiberglass buildup can lead to reductions in energy production and serious issues with the blade and the motor. 90% of wind turbine blade defects can only be detected from the inside. Missed defects can damage the motor and cost up to $ 1M to repair. #BladeInspection #DroneBladeInspection #WindTurbineBlade
By deploying the Elios 3 drone, it is possible to get up a tower and complete an inspection of all 3 blades within 2 hours. All you need are two people and the Elios drone. During wind turbine blade inspections with drones, you can inspect two blades at a time and push the drone 30% further than a human would be able to go, create digital twins, use the LiDAR to measure cracks, and have the turbine back in operation in no time. #WindTurbineInspection
Wind turbine drones are helping #WindFarms conduct faster, cheaper, and safer #inspections by removing human inspections in #ConfinedSpaces and reducing the need for #scaffolding and rope access. Drones in power generation allow for quick deployments and more frequent inspections, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime due to asset failures.

Revolutionize your wind farm with wind turbine inspection drones and conduct safer #NDT inspections. Inspect the #blade, #tower, #flange, #nacelle, #foundation, #buoyancy, and more without the need to physically enter a confined space. Make your wind farm a safer workplace by using wind turbine drones like the Elios 3.
