effectively combating leading-edge erosion
The leading edge is the most exposed area of rotor blades. It is continuously subjected to climatic aggressions (rain, frost, hail, sand, dust), causing progressive erosion.
This deterioration, which appears over the long term, has a direct impact on aerodynamic performance and therefore on production and the noise generated by the turbine.
We offer targeted preventive interventions aimed at treating damage upstream and maintaining the functional integrity of the blade before the appearance of any critical defect.
Intervention steps:
- Thorough inspection of the condition of the leading edge
- Removal of degraded material through sanding
- Rebuilding of the profile using suitable composite materials
- Application of durable Leading Edge Protection (LEP)
- Careful finishing to restore aerodynamics
Benefits of preventive maintenance:
- Preservation of aerodynamic performance
- Reduction of production losses linked to turbulence
- Noise reduction
- Prevention of heavy or costly long-term repairs
- Extension of blade lifespan
- Reduction of overall maintenance costs
Integrated into a predictive maintenance plan, this approach improves the overall profitability of wind farms.
