The ice detection system is always active and can detect ice masses also during standstills. This means you are always on track with the icing status of your turbines, even when the turbine is shut down and there is no wind. It’s of course cloud-based, so you have instant information and can make instant decisions.
Maintenance-free ice detection system to last the turbine's lifetime
Polytech’s rotor ice monitoring system is maintenance-free and designed to last the lifetime of your blades. Thanks to extensive testing and validation, it has been certified by DNV. The system is based on fiberoptic sensors that contain no electric components, thus making it immune to lightning strikes. And because the sensors are installed inside the blades, installation is quick and easy. Typically, it can be done in a day, with no need for a crane.
Additional Blade CMS
Naturally, Polytech’s state-of-the-art hardware can also be used for condition monitoring. Our fiberoptic sensors can continually monitor the condition of your blades, and should anything happen, you’ll get a notification immediately. How about that for peace of mind all year round?
Your added value at a glance:
- Lightning-resistant and maintenance-free system
- DNV-certified ice detection system
- Reduced downtime and costs using automatic start/stop function
- Improve AEP
