CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM
fos4X has developed a fibre optic condition monitoring system for damage detection on rotor blades which has been certified by DNV-GL
With Turbine Integrity Control, a condition monitoring system for rotor blades developed by fos4X and certified by DNV-GL, damage to rotor blades can be detected at an early stage and thereby the financial impact on turbine operation can be minimised.
Turbine Integrity Control monitors the structural condition of the rotor blades and can detect small damages at an early stage before serious damage and associated higher costs occur. In addition, necessary maintenance work and inspections can be better planned and the operational costs can also be reduced for offshore turbines.
ADVANTAGES OF FIBRE OPTIC MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY The great advantage of the fos4X solution lies in fibre-optic measurement technology which makes Turbine Integrity Control immune to
certification of the condition monitoring system. In the presence of a DNV-GL expert, several damages to the rotor blade were introduced which were immediately identified by the system.
COMPANY FOCUS
Founded in 2010 in Munich, fos4X GmbH is a specialist in innovative, fibre optic measurement technology and sensor technology, primarily in rotor blades of wind turbines, and develops intelligent solutions for blade load measurement ice detection, condition monitoring and operation optimisation.
electromagnetic interference and damage caused by lightning strikes, in contrast to electrical systems. Due to the high cycle durability of fibre-optic sensors, a very long service life of the system is achieved. Retrofit installation is possible in less than one day per turbine.
Certification of turbine integrity control The standard configuration consisting of fibre optic measuring devices and fibre optic acceleration sensors was installed on an 11 metre long rotor blade for the
The main focus is on the optimisation of wind turbines and windfarms with the help of fibre optic sensors. The aim is to increase both the availability of energy from wind power and the store of renewable energy.

SKF Marine Condition Monitoring Kit Set your course for improved reliability
Using the kit even an untrained operator is able to understand the results of vibration analysis and locate the source of the fault. The software is pre-confi gured to convert the measured data into an easy-to-understand colour-coded result. It provides analysis of the asset condition which allows customers to make a repair decision or to send data for further analysis by SKF.
• Helps maximise the availability of your critical and auxiliary equipment
• Simplifi es maintenance and reduces cost
• Provides early indication of potential problems
• Easy to set up, use and understand
