K. Worms,C. Klamouris,F. Wegh,L. Meder,D. Volkmer,Simon P. Philipps,S.K. Reichmuth,Henning Helmers,A. Kunadt,J. Vourvoulakis,Andreas W. Bett,Christian Koos,Wolfgang Freude,Juerg Leuthold,Wilhelm Stork +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new blade condition monitoring system, which combines the lightning safety of optical fibers with the reliability and cost-effectiveness of electronic sensors, and present results on the reliability of a newly developed prototype based on optically powered sensors.
