Challenge: Building a system to measure and control the behavior of a wind turbine blade to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.
Solution: Using NI CompactRIO, NI EtherCAT, and NI industrial controllers as well as NI LabVIEW system design software to build an intelligent measurement and control system that helped us further optimize the efficiency of our wind turbines.
