...Although blade condition monitoring is the most typical application of optical fiber sensors, these can be placed in almost the whole wind turbine starting from the fabrication stage, in which temperature and strain can be monitored in the curing processes using FBGs [68] or Brillouin technology [74] to assess the mechanical properties of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) pieces....
