Wind Turbine Blade Maintenance Workshop

September 16, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT

  • « Webinar: Research Opportunities Around the Evolution of ISO/RTO Wholesale Electricity Markets
  • 5th E-Mobility Power System Integration Symposium »

Members of ESIG and/or EPRI are invited to attend a Wind Turbine Blade Maintenance Workshop, co-hosted by EPRI and ESIG. In the first of what will be an annual event, we will focus on assessing blade defects and damage. Attendees will offer examples of blade defects and damage for the group to discuss and learn from. Unlike typical ESIG O&M workshops, attendees will come away from the event with workshop proceedings, which will summarize the examples shared during the workshop and outcomes of polls and discussion.

Workshop Background

Recent EPRI research revealed vast differences across the industry in both how damage is assessed and resulting remedies (repair immediately, reinspect in 3 months, etc.). Absence of standardization surrounding damage assessment is limiting because:

    • The industry relies on a small number of blade experts to manually review inspection results and advise on appropriate actions.
    • Automation and data analytics is less effective when categorization is not applied uniformly.

EPRI and ESIG recognize these challenges and have a long-term vision for bringing the industry together through knowledge sharing and consensus building by way of blade maintenance workshops.

Workshop Format

This is a fully remote workshop, where attendee participation is vital. We will start with two in-depth lessons learned presentations followed by brief presentations from each participant of their example(s), survey questions, results, and open discussion.

Participants will be asked to share one or more examples of blade damage or defects, including some information about the finding such as the blade age, the location on the blade, the size of the finding, and description of the finding, as well as some additional optional information.
