/4th February 2019, Drone Market Watch™/ Wind power industry is developing rapidly in the past decade and at the end of 2018 more than 382,310 wind turbines are operational at global level according to the research department of Drone Market Watch™. This means over 1,146,930 wind turbine blades are subject to physical wear out and need regular inspections throughout their lifespan.
Drones (UAVs) provide regular inspection works of wind turbines and wind blades quicker, safer and cost efficient than traditional inspection methods. Inspection techniques provide high definition videos and ultra-high resolution imagery of the blade, which previously was only achieved by the rope climbing maintenance technicians. With the support UAV technology surveyors are able to inspect wind turbines very closely for minute cracks, paint peel offs, dents, and others, by simply by looking at the photos and videos, which drones (UAVs) provide.
Over 170 senior managers of wind farms, O&M companies, wind farm asset managers, drone manufacturers, software developers and service providers have been interviewed to better understand trends in deployment of drones (UAVs) in wind farm inspections. Use of drones in the wind power industry in 2018 increased by 8.2 percent compared to 2017 reveals Drone Market Watch™ in its recently published report Drones in Wind Power Industry Global Market Outlook 2018 ÷ 2027.
