Feasibility study on adapting sensors for wind power in cold climates
Wind power

Nergica carried out a technical review of sensors used in the aerospace industry to validate whether this technology might be able to detect airflow disturbances on wind turbine blades during icing events and/or optimize rotor performance during normal operation.
Atmospheric icing has a significant impact on the development and operation of wind farms. To achieve optimum performance, the turbine must be able to detect icing on the rotor blades as soon as it occurs. This is the background to the project.

-
Good performance of wind turbine blade-mounted sensors.
-
Gather valuable information on the effect of ice accretion on the leading edge of the blade and on the aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine.
-
Detection of leading edge erosion or debris accretion.
-
Sensors can be coupled to the wind turbine's control system to enhance the rotor's aerodynamic performance.
