Ice accretion on wind turbine components affects system safe operation and performance, with an annual power loss up to 20–50% at harsh sites. Therefore, special design requirements, as ice prevention systems, are necessary for wind turbines to operate in cold climates. The paper presents results for evaluating the anti-icing energy requirement for wind turbine blades as a function of wind turbine size and type. The analysis was carried out by means of the TREWICE code tool.

Abstract
Ice accretion on wind turbine components affects system safe operation and performance, with an annual power loss up to 20–50% at harsh sites. Therefore, special design requirements, as ice prevention systems, are necessary for wind turbines to operate in cold climates. The paper presents results for evaluating the anti-icing energy requirement for wind turbine blades as a function of wind turbine size and type. The analysis was carried out by means of the TREWICE code tool.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
