, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This present invention discloses the system and method for repairing the wind turbine machine using augmented reality technology. The field of present invention is wind turbine industry where a huge and complex machine are used for electricity generator.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A wind turbine, is nothing but a wind energy converter. It is a device that converts the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging for auxiliary power for boats or caravans or to power traffic warning signs.
Wind energy is fuelled by the wind, so it's a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Wind turbines don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gasses.
Reliability of wind turbines has improved with time and has achieved an availability of 98%, but wind turbines fail at least once per year, on average, with larger wind turbines failing relatively more frequently.
As the technology become more and more advanced, their use in day-to-day life get is also increased. As each and every industry become more and more advanced, the machine becomes part of any industry.
But when some problem arises related to machine then the processes related to that machine get disturbed. To solve the problem, repair and maintenance team called to repair the machine.
For small machine it is easy and traceable to trace the problem and give solution to it. But in the case of huge machine such as wind turbine it is very difficult to trace the problem area and provide solution to it. The repair and maintenance team called up to fix the problem.
Currently, searching of the problem of machine is done manually. Repair team has to perform test and error basis to check which part of machine has problem.
Currently there is no such system which recognize, which part of wind turbine machine has problem.
The present invention suggests the solution to above problems. It suggests the real time problem identification of wind turbine machine using augmented reality technology.
Augmented reality (AR) is a type of interactive, reality-based display environment that takes the capabilities of computer-generated display, sound, text and effects to enhance the user's real-world experience.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the invention is, system and method for repairing the wind turbine machine using augmented reality technology.
Another object of the invention is, smart headset with AR feature/ AR enabled device is required
Another object of the invention is, it provides real time probable solution to problem arise
Other object of the invention is, application is installed to backend server
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for repairing wind turbine machine using augmented reality technology. The system and method comprising of: The application should install at backend server. Augmented Reality enabled smart glass or headset which is connected to server via internet. Repair team member wear the AR enabled device and go to problematic wind turbine machine. Backend server is provided with the design of machine. As repair team member stand in front of wind turbine machine, the all small parts of machine can be seen individually to team member. Then team member can see which part has problem. And installed application suggests the probable solution to that problem.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for repairing wind turbine machine using augmented reality technology.
The present invention system is comprising of contents such as; Backend server – repairing wind turbine machine application is installed; Any Augmented Reality enabled electronic device such as AR headset or AR glass; An application of repairing wind turbine machine; The design of machine which has to be repaired.
The present invention implemented in a combination of both hardware and software.
The present invention system is comprising of;
Step 1) The repairing wind turbine machine application is installed at backend server
Step 2) Any Augmented Reality enabled electronic device (may be smart phone or tab or AR smart glass) which is connected to backend server with the help of wi-fi connectivity
Step 3) Repair team member select which wind turbine machine has to repair from the list of machines
Step 4) As repair team member move to in front of wind turbine machine which has problem, the all included small parts are displayed in AR device
Step 5) Repair team member can detect the problematic part of machine
Step 6) Application suggest the probable solution to problem
This is general overview of system. System is not bounded to this only.
The system has advantages such as;
It is time saving. Before this invention, the repair team member has to detect the problematic part of wind turbine machine manually. This is really a hectic job. For this try and error method should be used.
The present system should find the exact problematic part of wine turbine machine.
Take an example of wind turbine machine. Large wind turbine machine is installed at the place which are very far from any residential and commercial areas. Now, for any reason problem is raised, it is very difficult to find which part of the wind turbine has issues. Currently, there is no such system to identify problem of wind turbine.
Here the present invention come in picture. With help of AR enabled device repair team member can identify which part of wind turbine machine has problem. Application also suggest probable solution to the problem.
The present system not only detect the problematic part of wind turbine machine but also suggest probable solution to it with the help of augmented reality technology.
Augmented reality (AR) is a type of interactive, reality-based display environment that takes the capabilities of computer-generated display, sound, text and effects to enhance the user's real-world experience.
In market some products related to augmented reality technology is available. These products are used to capture image and giving all data regarding target area. With the augmented reality view of that particular target area, all the information is seen on screen of user/farmer.
As repair team member come in front of wind turbine, he can see small parts of wind turbine on the AR enabled device’s screen. With AR device it is very easy to detect the problem part of wind turbine machine.
