Accuracy of LEE performance loss model based on field observations

Maniaci, David C.; Smaerup Olsen, Anders; Bak, Christian; Meyer Forsting, Alex

Leading edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades has been identified as a major factor in decreased wind turbine blade lifetimes and energy output over time. Accordingly, the International Energy Agency Wind Technology Collaboration Programme (IEA Wind TCP) has created the Task 46 to undertake cooperative research in the key topic of blade erosion. Participants in the task are given in Table 1.
