Main Factors for Leading Edge Erosion

Leading edge erosion protection is one of the most significant factors for driving down OPEX.

Rain, hail, ice, UV, water absportion and other weather conditions erode the leading edge on the turbine blade. This affects the aerodynamic of the blade and could cause severe damages.

This seminar includes up to 8 talks about this issue, followed by a workshop session to discuss the most sigificant factors for the leading edge erosion.

Current line-up of speakers

  • Flemming Vejen, Senior Advisor, Danish Meteorological Institute: Offshore precipitation climate: How can we monitor it?
