Characterisation of the offshore precipitation environment to help combat leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades
<p>Greater blade lengths and higher tip speeds, coupled with a harsh environment, have caused blade leading edge erosion to develop into a significant problem for the offshore wind industry. Current protection systems do not last the lifetime of the turbine and require regular replacement. It...
