INSPECT YOUR WIND TURBINES

Benefit from a smooth intervention process and the rapidity of SupAirVision tools to inspect your wind turbines regularly and more easily. The speed of inspection of the drone and of SupAirVision teams reduces the wind turbine downtime and increases the availability of your technicians. Visualise your blades with an ergonomic tool which helps you identify precisely the defects and damages, compare your reports with your previous inspections and follow the state of your wind turbines over time.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (LPS)

VISUAL INSPECTION

IN-DEPTH INSPECTION

Secure your wind turbines thanks to Volta, the first drone in the world capable of diagnosing a discontinuity of your lightning paths in a quick, reliable and precise manner:

  • Precise measure of the resistance of the lightning path and picture of the receptor
  • Contact with the lightning receptor by drone
  • Up to 10 wind turbines per day (30min per turbine)
  • Assisted piloting system and data interpreted by an expert
  • Innovative and patented technology, a world’s first
  • Measurement of the resistance of the blades, the tower and the whole turbine autonomously with our wind turbine technicians or by renting the drones

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  1. Rotors stop control according to SupAirVision protocol
  2. Drone flight with assisted piloting
  3. Contact with the receptor and picture-taking
  4. Analysis and measurement by experts and identification of any irregularity
  5. Generation of reports on the VisionAir cloud

Detect the internal damages of the blades of your turbines thanks to passive or active thermography (under development) and anticipate their repairs before they spread to the surface:

  • Passive thermography by drone (SupAirVision protocol)
  • Active thermography thanks to a laser system embarked on a lifting platform (patented system)
  • Precise indication of the type of defect, its size and location (as well as its depth in case of an active thermography)
  • Repairs costs divided by two thanks to the anticipated detection of damages
  • Limitation of the risks of severe breakdowns thanks to the anticipation of repairs
  • Facilitated follow-up of evolution of the defects
  • Reproducible inspections

HOW DOES IT WORK (CLARITY PASSIF)?

  1. Rotors stop control according to SupAirVision protocol
  2. Flight by drone and thermal image-taking of each side of the blades
  3. Transfer of the images to the cloud
  4. Analysis of the images by SupAirVision experts and identification of damages
  5. Simultaneous viewing of thermal and visual images on the VisionAir cloud
  6. Generation of customizable reports and integration in VisionAir and/or in your CMMS

CENTRALIZE ALL OF THE INSPECTION DATA WITH VISIONAIR

Our cloud platform VisionAir enables you to visualise and annotate your blades and towers on a single user-friendly, secure and accessible platform. Follow the evolution of your defects, one inspection after the other, by linking them on the platform and generate your reports to plan your maintenance efficiently. All your data is therefore centralized, whatever the technology and the type of pictures used (rope access, telephoto lens, manual and automated drone, etc.). If you wish, you can also interface VisionAir with your own computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) tools thanks to our Application Programming Interface (API).
