Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring Techniques for Renewable Energy Industrial Assets integrates state-of-the-art information and discusses future developments and their significance to the improvement of the renewable energy industry. Renewable energy assets are complex systems with several critical components that require inspection and adequate maintenance in order to ensure their high availability and uninterrupted operation. This is the first book to apply NDT and condition monitoring to these complex systems.
- Covers inspection and condition monitoring for a broad range of renewable energy systems, including wind turbines, wave energy devices, CSP and photovoltaic plants, and biofuel/biomass power plants
- Includes a review of common types of NDT techniques
- Discusses future developments in NDT and condition monitoring for renewable energy systems

Dr. Alexander Karyotakis after completing his PhD on the optimization of offshore wind farm O&M strategies and reliability of wind turbines at University College London (UCL), has been working as a coordinator and business developer on renewable energy projects in Europe and the USA. He has participated in several international R&D programs in renewables including NIMO, Optimus and SolarFox, having published highly cited journal and conference papers in renewables. In 2010 he joined TERNA ENERGY (Member of GEK TERNA Group), where he coordinated the development, engineering, construction and operation of large onshore wind projects in Europe and the USA, while supervised the first stage technical design and conceptual development of offshore wind farms (conventional and floating) in southern Europe. He currently is the Director of Concessions at TERNA ENERGY overlooking the development and operation of ICT and Waste to Energy projects.
