Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Rain-driven wind turbine blade erosion, particularly in offshore locations, has been observed as early as within 5 to 7 years of turbine operation, which is below the lifetime expectancy design age of 20 to 25 year. Due to the harsh atmospheric conditions offshore, the preservation of wind turbine blade integrity has become a fundamental necessity. To address this challenge, we compare precipitation maps from two distinct sources (satellite data and a reanalysis product) over 12 years in the region of the North Sea, and we pursue insights into local weather patterns through temporal analysis. This integrated approach enhances the understanding of offshore conditions by focusing on precipitation and wind speed data analysis in time and space. This enables more efficient wind farm planning, operation and maintenance, as well as wind farm siting via informed decisions that account for the risk of rain-driven blade erosion and allow for mitigation measures. |
