    Fiber Bragg grating sensors can be used to detect temperature, strain, and chemicals. They have advantages over traditional electrical sensors as they are wavelength encoded making them immune to intensity drifts, can be mass produced at low cost, and are durable under high strain. Common applications of FBG sensors include structural health monitoring of aircraft, wind turbines, power generators, and other industrial structures to prevent failures and downtimes by monitoring parameters like temperature, strain, and vibrations.

    Blade length is above 50 m, there is a need to measure the


    bending load in blades

    Why we need structural health monitoring ?

    •Prevent overload, abnormal wear, failure, and damages


    •Avoid down-times, secure public energy supply
    •Avert risks from operators, users, and from environment
    •Reduce service cycles: "Maintenance on Demand“
    •File load history for residual lifetime estimation
    •Wind turbines–Monitor bending moment for "Active Pitch
    Control", i.e., higher energy output–Evaluate wind park
    capacities, choose optimum development sites from
