Description of the DragonSky

DragonSky is the only measurement system capable of assessing blade pitch under real operating conditions, whether the wind farm is onshore or offshore, or located in difficult terrain such as mountainous or forested areas.
Unlike traditional methods that require the turbine to be shut down, DragonSky enables dynamic measurements, with blades subjected to apparent wind loads as well as centrifugal and gravitational forces.
Equipped with a drone-mounted LiDAR system, it captures the full geometry of the rotating rotor, allowing for a detailed analysis of the aeroelastic behavior of the entire rotor-turbine assembly.
This innovative process also makes it possible to detect aerodynamic imbalances that are undetectable using standard SCADA systems..

DragonSky advantages

• Inspection carried out while the turbine is operating, without production downtime.
• Results available immediately, enabling rapid decision-making
• Counter measure can be performed immediately after pitch adjustment, for instant validation.
• Simple measurement requiring no technical assistance from the manufacturer.
• Multiple parameters analyzed (pitch, blade/tower distance, blade half twist, edgewise and flapwise deflection of blades).
• Very competitive price per wind turbine inspected.
• Perfectly suited for complex environments: offshore, forests, mountainous areas.
• 2 to 3 times faster inspection than ROMEG, with equivalent accuracy.
