EOLOGIX-PING Sets New Standards in Blade-Based Ice Detection with its Advanced ON-BLADE Sensor Generation

EOLOGIX-PING, a leading provider of innovative sensor solutions for continuous wind turbine blade monitoring, remains committed to its vision of unlocking the full potential of every wind turbine. With its newly optimized generation of wireless ON-BLADE sensors, EOLOGIX-PING is setting a new benchmark in blade-based ice detection, further strengthening its position as a technological leader in continuous blade monitoring.

Enhanced operational safety in cold climates

EOLOGIX-PING has always prioritized close collaboration with wind farm operators and turbine manufacturers to develop innovative solutions that meet the highest industry standards and customer needs. Based on this collaborative approach and the goal of providing maximum value to its customers, EOLOGIX-PING has continuously advanced its wireless ON-BLADE ice detection sensor. The new generation features enhanced resistance to environmental influences, optimized material utilization, and broader compatibility across various turbine models from nearly all major wind turbine manufacturers worldwide.

"By the end of 2024, we had successfully installed over 500 sensors in cold climate regions and at high-altitude, exposed alpine locations with extreme weather conditions – delivering remarkable results. The new generation has proven to be highly reliable even in the most challenging environments, exceeding expectations," says Thomas Schlegl, CEO of EOLOGIX-PING.

New design, improved durability

The latest enhancements to EOLOGIX-PING’s proven blade-based ice detection system focus not only on sensor optimization but also on improving energy management and extending sensor lifespan under extreme environmental conditions. In addition to hardware advancements, the software has been upgraded with enhanced analytics capabilities, enabling even better operational support worldwide.

"With the new DNV certification, wind farm operators and turbine manufacturers can be confident that our latest generation meets all industry standards," explains Thomas Schlegl.

EOLOGIX-PING’s ice detection systems are designed for both new installations and retrofits, with standardized interfaces allowing for seamless and fast integration into existing turbine control systems. No additional turbine data is required, making retrofitting quick and hassle-free across various turbine types. The DNV-certified algorithm enables automatic turbine restart after ice-free conditions are detected - eliminating the need for prior visual inspection - significantly reducing downtime due to icing.
