Effect of drop‐size parameterization and rain amount on blade‐lifetime calculations considering leading‐edge erosion

Abstract Leading‐edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades is caused by the impact of particles, for example, raindrops, and leads to a loss in the power production and high maintenance cost. Investigations have shown that a reduction in tip speed, so‐called erosion‐safe mode, increases the blade li...
