Performance Comparison of Laser and Ultrasonic Sensors for Water-Level Monitoring in Wind Turbine Towers: System Development and Experimental Validation
Water accumulation inside wind turbine towers threatens structural integrity and operational safety. This study developed an IoT-based water depth monitoring and automatic drainage system and evaluated the performance of laser (VL53L0X) and ultrasonic (HC-SR04) sensors for tower sump water depth measurement.
