Abstract

We propose a fiber Bragg grating laser sensor system for possible uses in large scale wind turbine blades’ condition monitoring. The measurement instability due to the sensitive multi-wavelength lasing has been greatly improved by employing a polarization scrambling in the lasing cavity and a spectrometer demodulator. With suggested technique, we obtained 100% of data acquisition rate from all the 4 FBG laser sensors along single fiber-optic cable. Also the noise characteristics of the sensor outputs have improved 4 times more than the previous system.
