Abstract

Windmills are one of the finest and superior sources of electricity. Monitoring the working of windmill manually can be arduous. The ultra-wide band technology is exceptional for the purpose of monitoring and tracking of objects in complex environments. The proposed work proposes a windmill monitoring system by inculcating ultra-wide band tags and anchors. A conventional windmill consists of three blades. A minute UWB tag will be attached to each blades of the windmill followed by the attachment of a UWB anchor in the tower of the windmill. The pulses sent by the UWB tag will be received duly by the anchor present on the tower. The speed of the blade movement and deflection, along with their direction can be monitored from the frequency of the received pulses. Once received, the pulse are sent to the server for further algorithmic calculations. The monitoring system proposed promises to reduce the complexity in sensing the speed and movements in the deflection of blades and its current working status. An increase in accuracy and a nose dive in complexity can be witnessed using this sensing system.
