Objective
There is agrowing interest and need to install wind turbines in cold and icing climate. For optimum and safe exploitation of wind energy in icing regions, often with annual wind speed from 7 to 10 m/s, maximum wind speed up to 50 m/s, it is necessary to improve the WT and WECS technology and public safety. The project will derive major gaps in knowledge and need of further work, which leads to the objectives of this very project.
The icing atlas over Europe will be produced to enable better site predicting and to give guidelines for needs of turbine development. The large amount of experimental data and load measurements during icing events from several operational wind power stations, together with wind tunnel tests of iced blades and theoretical studies, will be used for model evaluation and improvement to enable the development of blades and the turbines and to increase the wind power safety.
This project is very interdisciplinary. The composition of the project team (3 research institutes, 1 university, 13 industrial and manufacturer partners and 1 co-operative test station from 6 countries) makes it possible to produce results and deliverables both in high scientific quality and practical information for industry.
The results of the project will be transferred to industry, manufacturers of blades, turbines and sensors, to utilities and operators by two BOREAS conferences and the manufacturers workshop. Specially in the work shop industry can influence the ongoing research activities of the project
