Self-logging Curing Process For Wind Turbine Blade Repair

When there is a demand in the market, you should act on it. Lund & Sørensen A/S recognized the need for a safer and more efficient working environment for technicians dealing with wind turbine blade repairs. These crucial operations required constant monitoring and manual logging of data at intervals of every half hour, spanning the 4-8 hours it took to complete the repair. This meant that the technician had to remain on the blade throughout the entire process. The task at hand wasn't just about generating accurate data; it was also about enhancing safety and the overall working conditions for the technicians.

The solution was quite simple, yet the product was nowhere to be found in the market. Lund & Sørensen A/S believed that Eltwin Group could be the suitable partner in developing this product.

A controller with a data logger function was the answer to the demand. With the data logger, all the necessary measurements were taken while the technician could safely leave the repair spot. The data were both valid and reliable, and the technician no longer had to spend his day hanging on the blade. If the technician needed guidance, he would simply scan the QR code on the controller and be guided directly to the user manual. It was a win-win solution, according to Peter G. Johannessen from Lund & Sørensen A/S.

The heat blanket controller has already showed great test results and created significant interest, particularly in the US market. Thanks to a talented team of engineers at Eltwin Group, the product has been thoroughly tested and can meet the criteria for trouble-free operation even in harsh weather conditions. Moreover, the controller was designed to match the compact size of other products on the market, which lacked the data logging functionality and thereby not using additional material or resources. As Peter G. Johannessen says: “We think it's really strong that we haven't come up with a box the size of a 20-foot container, but a small box that doesn't weigh much. A detail of significant importance.”
