About Task 46
The purpose of Task 46 Erosion Phase 2 is to further improve understanding of erosion driving factors, develop datasets and model tools to enhance prediction of leading-edge erosion likelihood, identify damage at the earliest possible stage and advance potential solutions. The scope of work covers several technical areas, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of the challenge.
The task scope is aligned with two of the research priorities established by IEA Wind TCP, namely:
- Resource and site characterisation: Improving the practices in resource characterisation regarding susceptibility to erosion at wind farm sites.
- Advanced technology: erosion damage models, material properties, characterisation of erosion resistance; characterisation and improvement of wind turbine operation with erosion.
Furthermore, the task scope aligns with three of the Grand Challenges, namely:
- Wind resources, atmospheric science, and the physics of air flow at wind farms;
- System dynamics and materials involved in wind turbines and wind farm technology; and
- Optimisation and control of wind farm operation and maintenance for reliability and resiliency.

Participation
Task 46 Participants
Who can participate in Task 46?
To participate in the research activities of Task 46, researchers must reside in a country that participates in the IEA Wind Agreement AND has agreed by official letter to participate in Task 46. The participating member country of the IEA Wind TCP must designate a lead institution that agrees to the obligations of Task participation (pay the annual fee and agree to perform specified parts of the work plan).
Active researchers (performing part of the work plan) benefit from meetings and professional exchange during the term of the Task. Countries participating in the Task benefit from the information developed by the Task. The value of the research performed is many times the cost of the country participation fee or the labor contributed to carrying out the work plan.

What are IEA Wind Tasks?
The IEA Wind Technology Collaboration Programme’s (TCP) cooperative efforts continue to advance the technological development and global deployment of wind energy technology. The IEA Wind TCP is a vehicle for member countries to exchange information on the planning and execution of national large-scale wind system projects, and to undertake co-operative research and development (R&D) projects called Tasks.
