WHERE TO FOCUS

Focus the measurement on the assets that matter

Energy assets are large, distributed and difficult to instrument. A stand-off, multi-point workflow helps teams capture the spatial context behind a vibration signal, whether the job is validation, troubleshooting, certification support or preventive maintenance.

Turbine response in operation

Track structural response through changing wind, rotor speed, pitch and operating conditions—with spatial evidence that supports the engineering decision.

Blade qualification and fatigue testing

Capture 3D deflection, curvature and local strain behaviour during static-load, resonance and fatigue campaigns—without loading the blade with a dense sensor installation.

Transformer vibroacoustics

Map vibration remotely on transformers and shunt reactors to support anomaly investigation, preventive maintenance and repeatable screening workflows.

BLADE TESTING

Wind-turbine blade testing: in the lab and the field

Blade teams need one measurement approach that carries from static-load, resonance and fatigue rigs to field investigations on operating turbines. In the lab, capture 3D deflection vectors across the blade, resolve curvature change and map local strain for model correlation and qualification evidence.

In the field, relate structural response to rotor speed, pitch, wind and operating state. Stand-off acquisition keeps the instrument off the test article and gives the team repeatable coverage when access is limited.

WHAT YOU CAN MEASURE

Turn blade motion into structural insight

3D deflection vectors

Capture motion across the blade in three dimensions, not just a single tip or spanwise displacement.

Local curvature

Resolve changes in the blade shape along the span and around critical structural features under load.

Local strain maps

Use the measured spatial response to identify local strain behaviour for correlation, fatigue assessment and design validation.

Lab and field coverage

Apply the same non-contact approach to qualification testing, fatigue campaigns and in-service blade-response investigations.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Energy vibration monitoring: common questions

Ommatidia Laser RADAR is designed for non-contact, stand-off measurement. The appropriate configuration and setup depend on the access conditions, line of sight, required spatial coverage and dynamics of the asset.
It gives the team 3D deflection vectors across the blade, plus curvature and local strain insight where the structure needs closer attention. That spatial evidence strengthens modal work, model correlation, qualification and fatigue decisions.
Remote vibration mapping can support transformer and shunt-reactor anomaly investigation, preventive maintenance and repeatable screening without attaching a dense set of contact sensors to the asset.
Ommatidia Laser RADAR systems combine non-contact 3D geometry measurement with laser Doppler vibrometry capabilities. The exact workflow depends on the product and measurement mode selected for the application.
The selection depends on the campaign: distance, field access, spatial density, operating environment and whether the objective is a campaign measurement or a continuous installation. Discussing the application with our team is the fastest way to scope the right configuration.
Fatigue testing applies controlled cyclic loading to demonstrate blade reliability and service life. Ommatidia adds full-field evidence: 3D deflection vectors, curvature change, vibration response and local strain behaviour across the areas that matter.
Laser RADAR measures the blade from a stand-off position, so the test article stays free of a dense sensor installation. The result is spatial 3D displacement data that shows deflection and shape change across the blade, rather than at only a few instrumented points.
It connects the blade’s structural response with the operating context: rotor speed, pitch, wind and load state. Repeatable non-contact measurements help teams compare behaviour over time, investigate unusual response and focus follow-up work where the data shows a change.
