Project Overview:
In 2025, Windrix conducted a targeted inspection on eight SG-3.75-132 wind turbines, focusing on the identification and evaluation of high-risk structural anomalies—particularly in areas exposed to extreme weather conditions.
Analytical Approach:
Going beyond standard inspections, this project involved not only surface imaging but also deep crack tracking, bonding line gap measurement, and receptor deformation detection. Visuals were captured using high-resolution thermal and optical imaging, then processed through AI-supported filtering systems and interpreted by experienced blade engineers.
Key Findings Included:
∗ Lightning scars and shell damage
∗ Surface cracking and fiber delamination on SS shell sections
∗ Trailing and Leading Edge open bonding line cracks
∗ Structural deterioration in receptor and bonding areas
∗ Localized peeling and impact marks on LEP coatings
These findings highlight significant risk factors for rotor efficiency and long-term blade integrity, while also providing a valuable reference for predictive maintenance across similar turbine models.
Outcome:
Beyond identifying the damages, Windrix delivered a detailed roadmap to the client, including turbine-specific repair prioritization, component replacement planning, and cost-time optimization strategies.
As a result, turbine operation continued uninterrupted, while repair and maintenance were conducted with greater accuracy and cost-efficiency.
