How can advanced sensor technologies transform offshore wind monitoring and maintenance?
Join us on Thursday, 15 January 2026 (13:00–17:30) at the Co-Creation Centre, The Green Village, TU Delft for an inspiring afternoon on multi-sensor monitoring and inspection innovations for offshore wind.
This event highlights the latest results from AIRTuB-ROMI Work Package 1, where researchers and industry partners are testing acoustic, fibre-optic, and electromagnetic sensors on Eneco turbines to continuously track wind turbine blade health. From detecting lightning strikes to analysing vibration patterns and acoustic signals, this multi-sensor approach advances Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and accelerates fully automated inspection systems at sea.
Project partners Mistras-Sensoria, Tarucca, and Dehn Detect will present their wind turbine monitoring technologies and real-world use cases, and TNO will present their digital twin development as part of AIRTuB-ROMI Work Package 2.
In addition, we will showcase pioneering projects such as Holi-DOCTOR and Reliablade2-NL, sharing their challenges, lessons learned, and breakthroughs in sensor innovation for offshore wind maintenance.
You will also hear from cutting-edge asset monitoring solutions including PhotonFirst, Villari and Wind AI (Cognitive Business), and TNO’s sensor installation robot.
Whether you are a wind farm operator, technology developer, or data scientist, this event offers valuable insights into next-generation monitoring systems and how they can enable safer, more reliable, and cost-effective offshore operations.
