Abstract

The accurate deflection measurement of wind turbine blade is one of the key step in its full-scale static loading test. In order to measure the blade deflection accurately in the threedimensional space, an effective spatial displacement measurement mathematical model has been established on the basis of geometric transformation method. At the same time, the finite element method is used to calculate the change of the blade deflection under the static loading force. Based on the above three-dimensional deflection measurement model, corresponding data measurement system was development. In the end, the three-dimensional measurement method was applied to wind turbine blade static test for blade tip measurement. The test results show that the maximum error rate of the three directions is only 4.1%, 3.8% and 4.3%, compared with the results of theoretical calculation, which has a very broad engineering application prospect.
