Drone inspection of wind turbines: efficiency meets law
The inspection of wind turbines is crucial for safe and efficient operation. However, traditional methods such as climbing operations or cherry pickers are time-consuming, expensive and associated with high risks.
With inspection flights by drone, Droniq offers a modern, safe and efficient alternative: high-resolution images of rotor blades, nacelle and tower provide valuable data that enables maintenance teams to precisely assess the condition of the turbine - with minimal downtime.
Advantages of drone inspections
Increase efficiency: less effort, shorter downtimes.
Increase safety: No need to work at dangerous heights.
Ensure precision: High-resolution image and video data for detailed analysis.
Utilize flexibility: Use on onshore and offshore wind turbines.
However, in addition to the technical advantages, the legal side is also of crucial importance.
Lecture: "Everything (r)right simple" at HUSUM WIND 2025
What is the legal framework for drone flights on wind turbines? What permits are required - especially for offshore operations? And what regulations do operators, service providers and pilots need to know in order to use drones in compliance with the law?
Our colleague Alexander Tummes will provide answers to these questions in his presentation:
- September 18, 2025
- 13:00 - 13:30
- Future & Innovation Hall / HUSUM WIND
Under the title "Everything (r)legally simple - legal framework for drone flights on onshore and offshore wind turbines", he will shed light on how operators and service providers can use drones for inspections efficiently and in compliance with the law.
Law & practice: A strong duo for wind energy
Legal clarity is a key success factor for the use of drones in the wind energy industry. In combination with the technical advantages of drone flights, Droniq offers wind power operators a secure foundation for carrying out inspections faster, more cost-effectively and more sustainably.
