Abstract :
Damaged area detection on the rotor blade of wind power plant is important for the safety of wind power plant. Most damaged area detections are performed by human inspectors. Damaged area detection by human inspectors costs much even it is dangerous. Some of damaged area detection systems by a scanning robot and various sensors have studied. However, most systems focus on the accuracy. Although time cost is important in actual use. In this paper, we propose a fixed type damaged area detection system for the rotor blade of wind power plant to reduce time cost. We designed the proposed system, and we implemented the system using blob labeling and coordinate converting method to reduce time cost.
