Real time measurement of sample erosion

风力涡轮机叶片前缘磨损是风能产业面临的一个重要问题。能源技术中心和国家物理实验室正在进行一项可行性研究，以调查使用最先进的测量技术来测量雨水侵蚀试验台中测试样品的实时侵蚀情况。将选择一种候选技术，并在能源技术中心的一个可操作的雨水侵蚀试验台上进行试验，以进行评估和示范。如果成功，该测量技术将用于测试、研究和开发，支持叶片前缘侵蚀保护系统的加速技术开发，从而提高风力涡轮机的效率、可靠性和可维护性。

Wind turbine blade leading edge erosion is an important issue for the wind energy industry. Energy Technology Centre and the National Physical Laboratory are undertaking a feasibility study to investigate the use of state of the art measurement techniques to measure the real-time erosion of test samples in a rain erosion test rig. A candidate technique will be selected and trialled on an operational rain erosion test rig at Energy Technology Centre for evaluation and demonstration. If successful, the measurement technique will be used in testing, research and development, supporting the accelerated technology development of blade leading edge erosion protection systems, leading to improved efficiency, reliability and maintainability of wind turbines..
