Wind turbine icing is a significant challenge that affects the performance and reliability of wind turbines. This book provides a comprehensive update on the latest research in the field, covering the underlying physics of wind turbine icing and the development of effective and robust anti-/de-icing technology.
The book begins by introducing the most recent research results derived from both laboratory studies and field experiments. Specifically, it discusses the use of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and an Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a high-resolution digital camera to quantify the characteristics of the ice structures accreted over the blades surfaces of utility-scale wind turbines. This field measurement campaign provides valuable insights into the formation and growth of ice on wind turbine blades.
In addition to field measurements, comprehensive lab experimental studies are explored. These studies involve a range of advanced flow diagnostic techniques, such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler anemometry (LDA), to better understand the flow patterns and dynamics associated with wind turbine icing. The book also provides a detailed overview of the improvements and advantages of state-of-the-art ice mitigation strategies, including thermal management systems, electrical heating systems, and chemical de-icing agents.
This new addition to the Wind Energy Engineering series is intended for all researchers and industry professionals who address icing issues through testing, research, and industrial innovation. The book provides a valuable resource for those seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in wind turbine icing physics and technology.
