Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring Techniques in Wind Energy 1st Edition

Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring Techniques in Wind Energy, 1st Edition — Fausto Pedro Garcia Marquez; Mayorkinos Papaelias; Valter Luiz Jantara Junior

Harness the full potential of wind assets with a practical, authoritative guide tailored for engineers, asset managers, researchers, and students. This first edition delivers a clear, contemporary roadmap to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and condition monitoring across onshore and offshore wind installations, helping you reduce downtime, extend component life, and optimize maintenance budgets.

Discover concise explanations of ultrasonic testing, thermography, radiography, acoustic emission, vibration analysis, and structural health monitoring, paired with real-world applications for blades, gearboxes, generators, towers, and foundations. The authors ground advanced techniques in everyday operational challenges—inspection planning, data interpretation, reliability-centered maintenance, and compliance with industry standards—making sophisticated diagnostics accessible and actionable.

Whether you operate wind farms in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, or emerging markets, this volume emphasizes scalable strategies and predictive maintenance workflows that suit diverse climates and regulatory environments. Case studies and comparative analyses illuminate cost-benefit tradeoffs and demonstrate how modern NDT and sensor technologies improve safety and ROI.

Concise yet comprehensive, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to improve asset performance, plan targeted inspections, or implement a state-of-the-art monitoring program. Equip your team with proven methods to anticipate failures, prioritize repairs, and maximize energy yield.
