SMART MAINTENANCE AT HIGH ALTITUDE
Our project main goal is to maintain in a great state the wind turbine’s blades The project is divided in four separate part: 1. verify the integrity of the external structure using a drone with a 3D scanner 2. Verify the integrity of the internal structure using a rail robot with a scanner 3. Internal cleaning of the structure is divided in two sections: for the tower a robot with magnetic tracks is used, for the blades a system with rotating brushes is used. 4. Maintenance of the surfaces with a system of smoothing and painting

I.T.T. A. PACINOTTI
The group that took part in the project is made up of 2 classes from the I.T.T. Pacinotti of Taranto. The 4B Automation and 4A Electrotechnical classes contributed to the correct execution and each one carried out a different part. Each student put his or her own skills into play to achieve the final goal. During the development of the activity we based ourselves on the offshore wind farm of Taranto which was illustrated to us by its designer, engineer Luigi Severini.
