Presently small wind turbines are receiving greater attention, due to the extensive promotion
of decentralized power generation in a sustainable way by national and international …

This paper provides a review of the aerodynamic behavior of horizontal axis wind turbines
operating in hazardous environmental conditions. Over the past decade, renewable energy …

The effects of rime ice on horizontal axis wind turbine performance were estimated. For
typical supercooled fog conditions found in cold northern regions, four rime ice accretions on …

A numerical model that simulates ice accretion amounts and ice shapes on wind turbine
blades is presented. The model simulates both rime icing due to fog droplets and glaze icing …

Icing experiments on wind turbine blade profiles have been performed at the University of
Manitoba Icing Tunnel Facility to facilitate a greater understanding of the mechanisms …

Wind energy is the world's fastest growing source of electricity production; if this trend is to
continue, sites that are plentiful in terms of wind velocity must be efficiently utilized. Many …

The main objective of this paper is to model the rime-ice accretion process on a horizontal-
axis wind turbine (HAWT) operating under icing conditions. The model calculation …

This paper presents a numerical study to predict ice loads on a wind turbine blade section at
80% of blade span. Air flow, droplet impingement and ice accretion simulations are …

Icing on the blade surfaces of wind turbines is a serious problem in cold regions, which
greatly affects the performance of wind turbines. To verify the characteristics of surface icing …

Wind turbines often suffer from severe ice during winter. Ice on the blades changes the airfoil
profile, thereby causing wind turbine power loss. The icing characteristics and output of …
