Rain erosion-resistant coatings for wind turbine blades: A review - Arash Dashtkar, Homayoun Hadavinia, M Necip Sahinkaya, Neil A Williams, Samireh Vahid, Fanya Ismail, Matthew Turner, 2019
Wind blades are the most expensive parts of wind turbines made from fibre-reinforced polymer composites. The blades play a critical role on the energy production, but they are prone to damage like any other composite components. Leading edge (LE) erosion of the wind turbine blades is one of the common damages, causing a reduction in the annual energy production especially in offshore wind turbine farms.....
