MAINTENANCE OF WINDMILLS WITH LoRa WAN
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Windmill energy resource sector is booming which can mean only one thing more maintenance work & more jobs related to it, as well as dealing with it swiftly would be need of the hour. IoT which is new developing sector as well would be beneficial if it works hand in hand with the renewable energy resource sector. Sensor data acquisition is our first task, then data transmission is done by LoRa (Long Range Module) & GSM. LoRa is chosen for its ability to work under low to no internet coverage area & would be ideal due to its chirp spread spectrum. The third task is to get an accurate computer vision-based system to detect exterior flaws like windmill blade crack detection etc. The final task is to get graphical analysis of all the sensor data which would be obtained via ThingSpeak.
