Project: 3 in 1 sensor of blade deflections, loads, and wind conditions for high-performance wind turbines

Acronym	GiGAN-2 (Reference Number: 114201)
Duration	01/10/2020 - 01/04/2023
Project Topic	GIGAN is an innovative combination of optical fiber sensors inside the wind turbine blades and aeroelastic models, which turns the entire turbine into a gigantic anemometer capable of monitoring simultaneously and accurately wind conditions but also the structural loads and fatigue of all its critical parts. It will turn every wind turbine into an advanced sensor and monitoring system, to extend turbines’ lifespan up to 40 years, improve performance up to 4%, and reduce OPEX by 5%.
