Methodology for the energetic characterisation of rain erosion on wind turbine blades using meteorological data: A case study for The Netherlands

Rain erosion on the leading edge of wind turbine blades is an intricate engineering challenge for the wind industry. Based on an energetic approach, this work proposes a methodology to characterise the erosion capacity of the raindrop impacts onto the leading edge blades. This methodology can be used with meteorological data from public...
