Wind turbines operate in some of the harshest environments, where heavy rain and ice contacts the leading edge of the blade, causing erosion, which in turn significantly reduces the operational efficiency of the wind turbine. Fighting the effects of erosion maintains efficiency and improves the reliability of the turbine's key components. It also reduces maintenance costs, especially for offshore wind farms where the costs can be significant due to the inaccessibility of the turbine.
