At Transmission Dynamics we combine a multitude of engineering disciplines (mechanical, electronics, embedded systems and data analytics) to deliver high-quality, reliable measurements in wind systems.
Your Partner in Optimal Sensor Placement
As the UK lead in the USA-UK Bilateral Collaboration Consortium, we played a central role in the Optimal Sensor Placement for Physics-Based Digital Twins project, driving forward the design and implementation of advanced wireless instrumentation.
The project focussed on identifying optimal sensor placement for digital twinning technology to enable informed and optimised O&M planning and elimination of unnecessary precautionary inspections and interventions for the global offshore wind industry.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Aging Wind Assets with Smart Condition Monitoring
As wind turbines age, the challenge of maintaining reliability and performance grows—but so does the opportunity to extend their operational life. Transmission Dynamics provides advanced wind turbine monitoring solutions designed specifically for lifetime extension (LTE) programs, helping you maximise ROI on aging fleets while minimising unplanned downtime.
Why Monitor Aging Wind Turbines?
Early Fault Detection
Proactively identify wear, misalignment, and structural fatigue before failures occur.
Regulatory & Safety Compliance
Ensure aging turbines meet evolving industry standards with real-time health insights.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
Replace reactive repairs with data-driven interventions, cutting unnecessary inspections.
Optimise Asset Lifespan
Continuous monitoring ensures critical components (gearboxes, bolts, bearings) operate within safe limits, delaying costly replacements.
Effortless Installation, Persistent Monitoring
Our rugged wireless sensors install with minimal turbine modifications, provide decade-long reliability, and enable remote fleet health oversight - eliminating unnecessary and costly site visits.
Key LTE Monitoring Solutions
Structural Health Monitoring
Our products detect micro-cracks, stress fractures, and foundation shifts in aging towers and blades.
Gearbox & Bearing Degradation Tracking
Our systems pinpoint early-stage gear wear, preventing catastrophic failures.
Bolt Tension Surveillance
Continuous monitoring prevents loosening in critical bolted joints - a major risk in older turbines.
Load Validation for Retrofits
Verify the impact of upgrades or life-extension modifications with precise strain and vibration data.
The LTE Advantage: Smarter Than "Run-to-Failure"
Many operators of aging turbines face a dilemma: replace or extend? With our wireless sensor networks and physics-based digital twin integration, you gain:
Next Steps for Your LTE Strategy
Whether you’re planning a 10-year life extension or mitigating risks in a 15+ year-old turbine, our bespoke monitoring systems deliver the data you need to decide with confidence.

Understanding the importance of Bolt Tension in Wind Turbine Integrity
- Engineering projects worldwide rely on critical bolting applications for safety and efficiency.
- Bolt failures are a major challenge, particularly in the wind energy sector.
- Accurate and continuous data of bolt tensions is crucial to prevent incidents.
- Hydraulic tensioners used in wind turbines have a fundamental problem with achieving correct bolt tensions.
- Many wind turbine bolts are not installed to specified preload, causing potential safety risks.
- Bolt tensions are typically checked only every 6 months, leading to potential loosening in between.
- Transmission Dynamics Technology offers live wind turbine monitoring for immediate and effective addressing of turbine bolting failures.
