Short summary
Weather simulations carried out over a decade showed that the average erosivity of rainfall on wind turbine blades increases from the southwestern part of the Dutch North Sea to the northeastern region. These results suggest that future wind farms developed in the northeast are likely to encounter higher erosion rates compared to those currently operating in the southwest. This requires special attention when developing mitigation strategies.
