Abstract

The country strongly supports the development of new energy industries, with the clean energy wind power industry developing rapidly and the market maturing, the scale of wind farms and installed capacity expanding, and the blade length increasing to 60-70m. The increased blade length and weight increase the probability of damage. the manual inspection method is time-consuming and laborious, with a high economic cost, low inspection efficiency, and high safety risks, and cannot meet the current wind turbine fast and efficient inspection requirements. This paper intro-duces the characteristics of the type of UAV, its working status, and mode, and proposes how to determine the best area for UAV inspection according to the factors that can cause interference to the inspection in the actual wind field, to achieve the demand for fast and efficient inspection of the blade surface and improve the accuracy of inspection. It is believed that with the development of UAV technology, UAVs will play a more important role in the field of in-spection.
