SHUTE Sensing Solutions A/S has worked with sensors in the foundation and in the wings of wind turbines and has worked together with some of the finest institutes of higher learning in the region.

How it works

SHUTE Sensing Solutions’ sensors are light weight, anti corrosive, flexible and durable, which makes them extremely suitable for wind turbine purposes. Both for monitoring strain in the wings and measuring stress in wind turbine concrete foundations. Newest application is a non-electric vibration sensor, which will be ideal for many structural health monitoring purposes especially in limited or hard-to-reach places; or where the environment needs to be free from electricity. Read more about it here: 'Accoustic Vibrations Sensor'

Monitoring humidity

SHUTE humidity sensors monitor between 0.2-100% RH and even survives being dipped into water. We produce mPOF Humidity Sensors for the 8-850nm range and the 1550nm range. Especially the fact that a new humidity sensor now is available for C-band interrogators could be of interest to our colleagues, as it can be used in combination with their own strain and temperature FBG sensors. We now also offer an all metal-free PEEK housing, which we have tested together with representatives from international top-tier companies, using the LUNA Inc. Hyperion SI255 and other C-band interrogators. For more info, see here '1550nm Humidity Sensor'. It has been tested in different types of oil for monitoring humidity, e.g., transformer oil.
