There is plenty of room for improvement in operations and maintenance activities. James Parle will tell how a team from Muir Data systems developed a system that lets wind tech report more thoroughly on their activities with easy-to-use portable devices.

And Grant Leaverton will report on how unmanned aerial vehicles can provides high resolution images of wind turbine inspections, especially blades, without rappelling from the nacelle.

This discussion will focus on the application of Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) Leading-Edge Blade Coatings to prevent blade degradation that decreases the performance of the WTG. We will explore the root causes of the blade erosion cycle and the effect of the leading edge erosion in the WTG performance output. Next, we will provide information on the WTG leading-edge blade coatings that offer protection against blade erosion and thereby increase both service life of the blade and maintain the original performance of the WTG.

Watch this webinar to learn:
1. What is leading edge erosion
2. What are the causes of leading edge erosion and buildup
3. The benefits of leading edge protection
4. Loss of turbine performance and revenue
