A method for identifying damage in a component of a wind turbine includes placing a conductive element onto at least one surface of the component of the wind turbine. The method also includes electrically connecting the conductive element into an electrical circuit. Further, the method includes monitoring a status of the electrical circuit to identify the damage in the component. In particular, when the status of the electrical circuit is open, damage is likely present in the component, and when the status of the electrical circuit is closed, damage is unlikely present in the component. Moreover, the method includes transmitting the status of the electrical circuit to a user interface for display.
