'Smart Turbine Blades' To Improve Wind Power
Researchers have developed a technique that uses sensors and computational software to constantly monitor forces exerted on wind turbine blades, a step toward improving efficiency by adjusting for rapidly changing wind conditions.
The research by engineers at Purdue University and Sandia National Laboratories is part of an effort to develop a smarter wind turbine structure.
“The ultimate goal is to feed information from sensors into an active control system that precisely adjusts components to optimize efficiency,” said Purdue doctoral student Jonathan White, who is leading the research with Douglas Adams, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of Purdue’s Center for Systems Integrity.
The system also could help improve wind turbine reliability by providing critical real-time information to the control system to prevent catastrophic wind turbine damage from high winds.

For some time, I realized that I was very tired from the study load. Therefore, on the advice of friends, I used the help of specialists who timely write my essay for me uk https://www.rushmyessay.co.uk/ They perform tasks of any complexity, with high quality. I honestly don’t understand why I didn’t use their services earlier.
