Vibration Monitoring in the Wind Power Sector
IAC Accelerometer
Application
A leading expertise and research centre in electrical power technology, integrated within a larger utility company, has integrated Micromega-Dynamics products for operational monitoring in the wind power sector.
The primary product used is the IAC accelerometer, which is essential for monitoring vibrations in slow-turning equipment, specifically the wind turbine towers and blades.
Monitoring & Norms
The main application of Micromega-Dynamics products involves vibration monitoring of slow-turning equipment. Although there are no specific regulations they had to comply with, ensuring accurate and reliable monitoring is crucial for the performance and maintenance of wind turbines.
“Finding the right sensor with the correct range was challenging, especially for non-experts in vibration monitoring. However, the excellent support provided made the process much smoother. The IAC accelerometers have proven to be highly effective for our vibration monitoring needs.”
