About
RTDT provides a comprehensive hardware and software solution called Aerosense, designed to unlock aero-structural insights for wind turbine blades. The system addresses the industry's lack of site-specific data by utilizing ultra-thin, wireless sensor patches that adhere directly to blades. These patches collect high-frequency data including aerodynamic pressure, acceleration, vibration, and strain, which are then processed through an advanced AI-driven analytical stack to improve design, control, and risk management. The hardware is notable for its non-intrusive, flexible design, measuring as thin as 4mm to avoid impacting aerodynamic performance. It is completely autonomous, featuring a smart battery management system that recharges via integrated solar cells. This allows for rapid deployment—taking only minutes to install via removable tape—whether for field retrofits on existing turbines, factory installations, or wind tunnel testing. The system is agnostic to blade models, making it a versatile tool for various hardware configurations. At the core of the software is the Aerosense Intelligence Stack, which transitions from raw calibrated measurements to actionable recommendations. The platform uses proprietary algorithms to identify blade kinematics and structural integrity, delivering results through dynamic dashboards and API access. These insights lead to specific optimizations such as site-specific controller tuning to boost annual energy production (AEP) and lifetime extension strategies that reduce long-term CAPEX and operational costs. RTDT is primarily built for wind farm operators, turbine manufacturers, and insurance providers seeking to mitigate risk and maximize profitability. Unlike traditional monitoring systems that require complex wiring or internal access, Aerosense offers a reversible, external solution that captures high-fidelity data previously difficult to obtain at scale. This blend of edge sensing and cloud-based AI analytics allows stakeholders to validate loads during warranty periods and implement smarter maintenance schedules.
