An Abstract Model for Onshore Wind turbine Blade Maintenance

Wind turbines form a significant part of the world’s renewable energy sources. Wind farms are built across all terrains and altitudes. One of the main factors that affect the working and productivity of such large-scale wind farms are the cracks formed in the blades and the dust accumulation due to the environmental phenomena, thereby decreasing the wind power generation capacity. In most south Asian countries, the current method employed for repairing and cleaning the blades involves bringing down the blades using cranes and then restoring them. This method is both cumbersome and involves a very high cost of execution. This paper discusses the working of a model with different highly application-specific and configurable modules that improve the existing solutions. The said developments will be elucidated in the upcoming sections.
