Novel non-contact deformation health monitoring of towers and rotating composite based wind turbine blades using interferometric ground-based radar

This paper describes the use of non-contact quasi monostatic ground-based radar (GBR) for system health monitoring (SHM) of the blades of wind turbines. It focusses on the deflection monitoring of these blades and validates the results from the design parameters extracted from numerical simulations...
