New Methods for Accurately Detecting Lightning Strikes to Turbines

Enjoy this exclusive webinar from Indji Systems and Vaisala by filling out the form below.

Research has shown wind turbine blades are frequently struck by lightning and in some cases the same turbine is struck multiple times per year. Identifying which turbines were struck and when can lead to a targeted, more immediate inspection of the turbine blades vs. a broader, less timely approach of checking all turbines once per year. Identification of damage early is now easier than ever with new emerging technology like drones. Finding the damage can allow for quick repair while the expense is minor saving the costs of a major blade repair or replacement down the line.

Watch this webinar to learn: 

  • How to analyze your wind farm for lightning strikes and even narrow your search to a single turbine
  • Use data about the amplitude, polarity and accuracy of the strike to help you in deciding whether to inspect a turbine
  • Leverage daily reports which can be shared across your enterprise for more efficient operations
