Infrared thermography detects potential issues in wind turbine electrical systems beyond obvious overheating by identifying subtle temperature anomalies that indicate loose connections, imbalanced loads, and failing components before they lead to major failures. Infrared thermography is a non-destructive testing technique that uses an infrared camera to detect and measure temperature variations on the surface of objects. It identifies problems based on heat signatures. Loose electrical connections exhibit increased resistance, which generates heat. Infrared thermography can detect these hotspots even if the overall temperature increase is not significant. This allows for early....
