EROSION PROTECTION COATING FOR ROTOR BLADE OF WIND TURBINE

摘要

A rotor blade assernbly (100) for a wind turbine (10) is disclosed. The rotor blade assembly (100) includes a rotor blade (16) having surfaces defining a pressure side (22), a suction side (24), a leading edge (26), and a trailing edge (28) extending between a tip (32) and a root (34). The rotor blade assembly (100) fhrther includes an erosion protection coating (100) configured on a surface of the rotor blade (16). The erosion protection coating (110) includes a ceramic layer (112), the ceramic layer (112) having a thickness (114) of less than approximately 10 millimeters. The cerainic layer (112) is configured to reduce erosion of the rotor blade (16).
