Fiber-optical grating sensors can be utilized to pro- vide important information regarding strain, temperature, and curvature of the blades, which can be applied in condition-monitoring to detect fatigue failure and furthermore for optimization of the production from the wind turbine. We provide an. This article presents the findings of an experimental study conducted on a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) tower instrumented with cascaded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to detect bending deformations. They help check the safety of bridges and machines.
