Ping Services has landed four commercial contracts with US wind turbine companies following the launch of its second-generation Ping Monitor. The company received orders for 150 systems and the monitoring is for longer-term for a 12-month monitoring period.
Ping Services’ device, known as the Ping Monitor, uses acoustic analysis, machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT) to continuously detect wind turbine blade damage. Using an algorithm, the device is able to rate the health of a turbine based on its acoustic signature and monitor changes over time.
