What causes damage to the leading edge of wind turbine blades, and how can it be repaired?
Wind turbine blades are constantly exposed to extreme weather, UV radiation, and airborne particles which gradually degrade their leading edges. When left untreated, this damage can reduce aerodynamic performance, increase noise, and ultimately lead to costly repairs or downtime.
Can wind turbine blades be repaired?
Yes, erosion and impact damage of the leading edges of wind turbine blades can be repaired with Belzona 5711. The product has a good working life allowing it to be perfectly contoured to the leading edge removing the need for sanding.
This method restores blade integrity and protects the leading edge without the high cost of full blade replacement.
What is the lifespan of a wind turbine blade?
Wind turbine blades can last 20–25 years, but environmental damage especially leading-edge erosion can significantly reduce that lifespan without regular inspection and repair.
