The present work concerns on the use of sensors to monitor the structural health of wind turbine. Conventionally the inspection was made using non-contact sensing during the turbine's inoperable period hence loss occurred. A real -time monitoring system via embedded wireless sensor is preferred but the sensor could only be implanted using non-contact printing method due to most turbine blades' curved surface. Conductive ink associated with non-contact printing method via fluid dispensing system are proposed since conductive inks are proven stretchable and fluid dispensing system enables printing on various substrates and works well with any materials...
