Drone Blade Inspections
Turning image collection into
lifetime insight
Sandia Wind Turbine Blade Workshop
August 31, 2016
InspecTools Overview
• Founded in 2013 with a focus on wind energy
• Data-driven condition management company
• Drone development & service necessity
• Other segments: Solar and T&D
• Common components in inspections:
– Image Capture (drone & manned aircraft using
specialized sensors packages)
– Image processing & organization
– Analysis and information delivery
– Cloud-based Data Analysis Tools
– Cloud-based Temporal ReportingTools
– Data DeliveryTools (PDF, Mobile,Web)
Solution Components

H/W	&	S/W
Data	Processing	&	
Analysis	S/W
Data	Management	
&	Reporting	S/W
– Purpose-built	Automated	UASs
– Flight	Sensor	Integration	S/W
– Automated	Data	Processing	S/W
– Automated Image Processing S/W
– Custom Data Analysis S/W & Algorithms
– Cloud-based Image Data Warehouse
Topics
• New FAA regulatory changes (Part 107)
• Does one drone size & type fit all applications?
• Are all imaging sensors created equal?
• Metatags and image organization
• Mobile consumption and collection
• Data analysis and reporting for stakeholders
engineering/asset management teams
• Ongoing insight and action is based on gathering
empirical information over time
FAA Small Commercial UAS (Part 107)
• New FAA certification lowers the barrier to
commercial UAS operation
• UAS pilot certification - TSA Background check -
Max. 55lbs,100 MPH, 400 ft. or remain within
400ft. of existing structure – Visual Line of Site –
Etc.
• Strongly encourage Part 107 certification within
your field staff
• Eager to assist our partners in a certification and
training program
Aerial Platforms
• Powerful & Redundant
• Windy environments
• Increased safety
• Fast. Efficient. Reduced cost. Ongoing
blade inspections
Current/Future Sensors
• Full frame/36+ Megapixel sensor/prime lens
• Other sensors (IR, UV, multi-spectral, etc.)
can be used to gain condition insight
• Light integration
– Optimize image quality using artificial light
• Navigation sensors assist GPS awareness
UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System)
Drone Automation
Drone Near Blade Tip
Desktop-WindAMS Viewer
Sample Images
Image Analysis Tools
• Software tools notes and reports blade damages
Mobile Data - Consume & Collect
• Infield insight into blade condition
• Structured data collection
• Pre-construction, on-ground inspection, repair
• Procedural guidance
• Wearable integration
Analysis and Reporting
• Multiple data inputs
– Blade’s condition and repair history
– Turbine’s location using GIS
• Lightning strike, icing events, etc.
– SKADA information integration; wind speed, direction,
production,etc.)
• In Summary
– Lower the cost and barriers of regular blade inspections
– Web software provides insight & feedback over time
– Improve ROI through empirical data collection, analysis, scheduling
appropriate actions and tracking them
– Know your blades entire lifespan, current condition, have an efficiency
and longevity strategy.
– Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power “and ultimately money”
Thank	you!

Drone Blade Inspections: Turning image collection into lifetime insight

  • 1. Drone Blade Inspections Turning image collection into lifetime insight Sandia Wind Turbine Blade Workshop August 31, 2016
  • 2. InspecTools Overview • Founded in 2013 with a focus on wind energy • Data-driven condition management company • Drone development & service necessity • Other segments: Solar and T&D • Common components in inspections: – Image Capture (drone & manned aircraft using specialized sensors packages) – Image processing & organization – Analysis and information delivery
  • 3. – Cloud-based Data Analysis Tools – Cloud-based Temporal ReportingTools – Data DeliveryTools (PDF, Mobile,Web) Solution Components Data Acquisition H/W & S/W Data Processing & Analysis S/W Data Management & Reporting S/W – Purpose-built Automated UASs – Flight Sensor Integration S/W – Automated Data Processing S/W – Automated Image Processing S/W – Custom Data Analysis S/W & Algorithms – Cloud-based Image Data Warehouse
  • 4. Topics • New FAA regulatory changes (Part 107) • Does one drone size & type fit all applications? • Are all imaging sensors created equal? • Metatags and image organization • Mobile consumption and collection • Data analysis and reporting for stakeholders engineering/asset management teams • Ongoing insight and action is based on gathering empirical information over time
  • 5. FAA Small Commercial UAS (Part 107) • New FAA certification lowers the barrier to commercial UAS operation • UAS pilot certification - TSA Background check - Max. 55lbs,100 MPH, 400 ft. or remain within 400ft. of existing structure – Visual Line of Site – Etc. • Strongly encourage Part 107 certification within your field staff • Eager to assist our partners in a certification and training program
  • 6. Aerial Platforms • Powerful & Redundant • Windy environments • Increased safety • Fast. Efficient. Reduced cost. Ongoing blade inspections
  • 7. Current/Future Sensors • Full frame/36+ Megapixel sensor/prime lens • Other sensors (IR, UV, multi-spectral, etc.) can be used to gain condition insight • Light integration – Optimize image quality using artificial light • Navigation sensors assist GPS awareness
  • 13. Image Analysis Tools • Software tools notes and reports blade damages
  • 14. Mobile Data - Consume & Collect • Infield insight into blade condition • Structured data collection • Pre-construction, on-ground inspection, repair • Procedural guidance • Wearable integration
  • 15. Analysis and Reporting • Multiple data inputs – Blade’s condition and repair history – Turbine’s location using GIS • Lightning strike, icing events, etc. – SKADA information integration; wind speed, direction, production,etc.) • In Summary – Lower the cost and barriers of regular blade inspections – Web software provides insight & feedback over time – Improve ROI through empirical data collection, analysis, scheduling appropriate actions and tracking them – Know your blades entire lifespan, current condition, have an efficiency and longevity strategy. – Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power “and ultimately money”
