摘要：Wind turbines are widely used all over the world to harvest renewable energy. To transform more kinetic energy to electricity, the best method is to use longer blades without increasing the blade mass. However, a longer blade without increasing its mass is much easier to bend towards the tower direction due to the wind load. It increases the risk of the deflected blade striking the tower. To mitigate this, there is a need for a technique to sense blade deflection and predict a tower strike, so that controls on the wind turbine can be applied in advance to avoid the tower strike. Furthermore, the key to successful deployment of such technology is its ability to operate reliably in the harsh environment of a wind turbine blade such as high blade tip travelling speed, lightning strike, and unacceptable acoustic noise due to blade surface discontinuities. This presentation will introduce the method of applying UWB technology for wind turbine blade deflections. Furthermore, the antenna and electromagnetic challenges and solutions related to this technology will also be addressed.

After his Ph.D. studies, he was a Postdoc at KTH. In April 2014, he joined Aalborg University, Denmark, where he currently works as Associate Professor (Tenured and with the top level). He is also the head of antenna research group at Aalborg University. He has coauthored over 100 articles in well-reputed international journals (where over 50 are published in various IEEE Trans.) and over 16 US or WO patents. His citations in Scopus are over 3100 with H index of 28. His current research interests include: mmwave antennas for cellular communications, biological effects, metasurfaces, CubeSat antennas, massive MIMO antennas, wireless sensors, and RFID antennas. He is an IEEE Senior member and the recipient of “IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Young Professional Ambassador” in 2022. He is the Associate Editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters; Sensors; and IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation. He is a reviewer for all the IEEE and IET journals in antennas, where he got the prize of “Top Reviewers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation 2019-2020 and 2020-2021”. He was the Super Reviewer (previously known as Super TPC or Vice Chair) for IEEE APS 2020 and 2021, and Local Organizing Committee Member and Secretary for PIERS Stockholm 2013. From 2019-2023, He was the Management Committee for EU COST Action of SyMat, focusing on high symmetrical metamaterials.
