Alternative operational strategies are now being used to cope with the challenges of icing on
wind turbines. However, there are currently no generally accepted standards for the …

Operating wind turbines in cold climate leads to several challenges not encountered in
regular climates such as frequent icing. These challenges are amplified by the difficulties …

With the abundance of wind resources in cold climates, a significant share of the worldwide
wind energy installed capacity is located in those areas. However, the advantages of cold …

To prepare a base layer of thermal insulation for the surface of wind turbine blades, we
utilized SiO2 aerogel material with a nanoporous structure as the thermal insulation layer of …

Icing losses encountered in a wind farm are very hard to assess as they can vary by a factor
of three from year to year. This inter-annual variation is a critical issue from the assessment …

The accumulation of ice on wind turbine blades is a serious threat to the safety of wind
power generation. Anti-icing techniques with low energy consumption, especially when …

In the rapidly growing wind energy market, regions with cold climates are currently in the
spotlight owing to their abundance of wind resources. However, the operation of wind …

At present, there is no mature prediction model for the shutdown caused by icing in wind
farms. There is a gap between the traditional prediction of icing thickness calculated by the …
