a Introduction Across the globe, countries and private energy producers are turning to renewable resources like wind turbine generators to provide environmentally friendly energy production. To ensure safe and reliable operation of these massive structures, wind turbines undergo routine inspections for wear and damage. Wind generators are massive infrastructure projects. With blades over 35 meters in span and towers more than 65 meters tall, a wind turbine blade can reach over 100 meters high as it sweeps through the air.
