LM Glasfiber in research project on wind turbine blade laser sensory system LM Glasfiber, the independent manufacturer of wind turbine blades, is entering into a three-year research project supported by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation to develop laser-based wind sensory systems as an integrated part of future wind turbine blades. The project, which is a joint venture with Risø DTU and NKT Photonics , aims to improve the load control of the wind turbine in operation thus enhancing the efficiency of the turbine and improving its overall reliability. “ LM Glasfiber is working on several projects to improve the efficiency of the blades and consequently the overall energy production from the wind turbine. An important part of this is developing ‘intelligent’ blades that measure the wind and either adapt to the current wind conditions or supply data to the wind turbine control system,” says Lars Fuglsang, LM Glasfiber Research Director. Integrating so called LI...
