BladeScope™ is a cloud-based analytics platform that transforms raw edge data into actionable structural intelligence. By combining high-resolution imagery and Multiphysics sensor data streamed directly from turbine blades, BladeScope utilizes trained computer vision and proprietary AI models to continuously detect, categorize, and track critical faults—such as cracks, delamination, blade attachment and pitch-bearing anomalies. The platform serves as a 24/7 guardian providing digital twin type inspection for wind assets, allowing operators to bridge the gap between manual inspections, prevent catastrophic failures, and transition from reactive repairs to optimized, predictable OPEX.
BlasdeScope turns inspections from “once a year” into “every day”
VolFusion™ is an in-blade sensor hub, combining multimodal sensors with 360° optical and thermal imaging. Engineered to capture high-resolution data and visual intelligence from the most inaccessible areas of a wind asset. These units can be installed within minutes inside of wind turbine blades and rotor hubs to remotely and persistent monitor the condition of turbine rotor systems. VolFusion feeds high-fidelity data directly into our analytics ecosystem, the platform enables continuous trend monitoring and automated computer vision detection of internal structural defects, giving operators real-time visibility into component health without the cost, safety risks, or downtime of manual inspections.
VolDrive™ is Onvol’s award-winning energy harvesting technology that converts kinetic motion directly into electricity, providing a seamless and sustainable power source for VolFusion sensor hubs for the life of the turbine. By capturing the dynamic forces of a rotating blade, VolDrive™ eliminates the need for external wiring, turbine system dependence, maintenence or costly battery replacement cycles. This “in situ” continuous power ensures uninterrupted operation of blade-mounted hardware, enabling truly autonomous, long-term structural monitoring while driving down asset maintenance costs.
What is energy harvesting?
Energy harvesting – is also known as power harvesting, energy scavenging, or ambient power generation. It is the process by which electrical energy is derived from other sources of energy (e.g., solar power, thermal energy, wind energy, salinity gradients, and kinetic energy, also known as ambient energy), then used to power small, wireless autonomous devices, like Internet of things (IoT) devices used in data acquisition, condition monitoring and wireless sensor networks.
