Extending turbine lifespan with robotic leading edge repair


The wind energy industry is growing rapidly due to the urgent need to combat climate change and the global shift toward renewable energy, leading to new challenges that demand innovative solutions. One of the most pressing issues is leading edge erosion (LEE) on wind turbine blades, which can significantly reduce efficiency and increase maintenance costs. Addressing this challenge, Aerones has developed robotic technology that revolutionizes turbine maintenance by offering safer, more efficient, and cost effective repairs. This article explores how its solutions, combined with preventive maintenance and data driven insights, are setting new standards for the industry’s future.

The wind energy industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the urgent need to address climate change and the global shift towards renewable energy sources. In 2023, the industry saw a record 117 GW of new capacity installed globally, a 50% increase from the previous year. This surge is fueled by increased political ambition, corporate sustainability commitments, and advancements in wind turbine technology.
