S1 - Leading Edge Erosion
13 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50
Introduction
Addressing Leading Edge Erosion is critical for maintaining optimal aerodynamic performance and maximizing energy capture efficiency. Implementing proactive measures such as protective coatings, advanced monitoring systems, and regular inspections is essential to mitigate erosion-induced damage and ensure the long-term reliability and profitability of wind farm operations.
Your moderator for this roundtable
Feichin McCormack, O&M Engineering Manager at Energia Generation
Energia operates a diversified portfolio of GE, Siemens, Vestas, Nordex, and Enercon. Energia is specifically interested in discussing LEE and LEP options and availability losses due to damages. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.
A big thank you to Energia Renewables!
Is this your cup of tea?
Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?
How can we maintain energy capture efficiency by addressing blade leading edge erosion using advanced protective coatings and monitoring systems?
Manage costs associated with inspections and repairs by implementing predictive maintenance strategies and innovative technologies.
What is the latest on materials and sensor technologies to prevent performance decline - what has worked well and what can be avoided?
Comprehensive structural analysis and targeted repairs of the leading edge to extend the blades - what has worked well and what to avoid?
Do we see a different development of leading edge erosion on bigger blades?
Does anyone apply additional painting and protection of the leading edge in manufacturing or before mounting the blades?
Early detection of leading-edge erosion using advanced inspection techniques like drones and lidar technology - what has worked well and what to avoid?
Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
