Abstract

Aim: Wind energy, being a non-conventional and sustainable renewable resource, provides electrical energy through the rotation of the blades of a wind turbine caused by wind impact. To ensure the sustainability of this resource, maintenance of the wind turbines is essential.

Methods: The incorporation of emerging technologies into the tedious processes has enabled quality improvement in the performance of systems. Augmented reality, which enhances the 3D digital content over the real world, may be used to leverage the tedious process of wind turbine maintenance by providing a user-friendly environment.

Results & Discussion: AR utilization provides great insights into the problems occurring in specific parts of a wind turbine, thereby easing out the complexity of field workers. The objective is to create an augmented reality environment to monitor the proper functioning and detect the faultiness in a wind turbine with accuracy.

Conclusion: AR utilization can help facilitate better maintenance service, thereby increasing the life of a wind turbine.
