Extending the life of wind turbine blade leading edges by reducing the tip speed during extreme precipitation events
<p>Impact fatigue caused by collision with rain droplets, hail stones and other airborne particles, also known as leading-edge erosion, is a severe problem for wind turbine blades. Each impact on the leading edge adds an increment to the accumulated damage in the material. After a number of...
