6 FAQs about [Film laying for wind turbine blades]

Do wind turbine blades protect against leading edge erosion?

7. Conclusions Recent developments in the wind turbine blade protection against leading edge erosion, are reviewed, on the basis of last year publications, works presented on the annual DTU symposia on leading edge erosion over last four years, as well as studies carried out at DTU Wind.

How to protect wind turbine blades?

Fiber pulp reinforced coatings have a great potential for the blade protection. Nanocellulose reinforcement has potential to delay the degradation of coatings. Leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades is the most often observed damage mechanism of wind turbine blades, which causes also additional costs for the maintenance of wind turbines.

What is wind turbine blade manufacturing process?

Wind turbine blade manufacturing process: (a) hand lay-up , (b) vacuum infusion or prepregging , (c) vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM) . [...] To meet the increasing energy demand, renewable energy is considered the best option. Its patronage is being encouraged by both the research and industrial community.

Are wind turbine blades eroded?

The ideas and results, presented at the annual symposia on erosion of wind turbine blades, organized at DTU Wind since 2020, are reviewed. Recent studies of leading edge erosion, devoted to the computational analysis and materials science aspects of the erosion, are summarized.

Can rain damage a wind turbine blade?

The leading edge of a wind turbine blade is exposed to extremely high airflow speeds, even exceeding 300kmh. At these speeds, impact from rain can cause significant coating erosion or even composite damage. In severe cases, the erosion may lead to a loss of aerodynamic performance and a 2-3% drop in Annual Energy Production.

Why did DTU Wind organize a symposia on leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades?

In order to get better overview of lately developed solutions, DTU Wind organized a series of international symposia on leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades in 2020–2023, inviting specialists from research teams and projects active in this area.
