SHM.Tower® – System for vibration monitoring and life cycle prognosis

Tubular steel towers can be exposed to strong vibrations that significantly affect the lifetime of a wind turbine. Since monitoring systems are missing, high fatigue loads are not detected - in particular if there is no power supply due to power failure.

Our product SHM.Tower detects the tower vibrations with sensors and documents extreme loads and fatigue loads as well as the lifetime consumption, for up to six months even without power supply.

SHM.Tower is easy to retrofit, so that a lifetime assessment is also possible at the end of the operating period of the WT. This means that essential information is available for a lifetime extension.
