China Leading Wind Energy Market
Having an installed wind power capacity of more than 216 GW, China is leading the globe in wind energy production. It is currently owning one third of the world’s installed wind power capacities, and expected to reach 1.3 TW of wind power by 2050!
Renewable energies such as wind power are important for China to provide a clean, competitive and infinite source of energy, and to reduce foreign energy dependencies.
Precision & Productivity
To further grow and assert its business, Winward was seeking for the most efficient way to carry out wind turbine inspections for their customers.
They needed a solution that is accurate, time- and cost-effective, and safe to perform.
The solution should be intuitive, for drone pilots easy to get familiar with. Also, it should be adapted to the Chinese market, including having software and services available in Chinese.

Join Our Happy Customers
Since 2017, we inspected hundreds of blades across six countries.
The software platform makes the inspections very quick and safe. We like that photos are collected consistently, in a prescribed order with minimal user input.
Using Sterblue's inspection solution, our team is able (...) to generate adequate inspection reports. Thanks to Sterblue for bringing the service to China!
It was great to see the Sterblue technology at work. I was impressed with their efficiency at each turbine and the quality of photos in the report. I look forward to working with them again.
