Ice accumulation is a pervasive natural phenomenon that exerts a severe and catastrophic
impact on a broad range of social systems. Previous investigations on anti-/de-icing …

In the past years, there has been a gain of interest in wind turbine Ice Protection Systems
(IPS) as wind farm owners realize the extent of their ice-induced losses. More and more …

This paper presents an overview of current electricity generation and consumption patterns
in the Antarctic. Based on both previously published and newly collected data, the paper …

Analyzing the performance of wind turbines operating in cold climate conditions is a
complex matter. The lack of any widely used standards adds to the challenge of comparing …

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 …

Wind energy is becoming an essential part of the energy system in the Baltic Sea region
(BSR). There has been a tremendous development of offshore wind energy in the early 21st …

Icing and thus ice throw from wind turbines is currently unavoidable in cold climates.
Therefore, the associated risk requires adequate quantification and assessment. In this …

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 …

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 …

La transition énergétique est un enjeu qui se décompose sur plusieurs fronts à l'échelle
mondiale. Au Canada, une meilleure intégration des énergies renouvelables et …
