SHM.Blades is a tried and tested condition monitoring system for rotor blades, which can detect structural damage and - with the option IDD.Blade - icing. If the rotor blade is at risk of incipient damage or if there is ice on the rotor blades, the systems sends a warning or an alarm. This can be the basis for a shutdown or for taking inspection and repair measure. SHM.Blade and IDD.Blade are based on the measurement and interpretation of the global vibration behavior. Vibrations change when the structural stiffness is reduced due to damage or when the mass changes due to icing. By means of sensors and complex data evaluation algorithms the condition of the rotor blade can thus be determined. The evaluation is based on a parented procedure where structural-dynamic characteristics of the rotor blade are determined by means of output-only modal analysis through system identification directly from the sensor data.
