More about this offer

Welcome to the Blade heating Whitepaper. You’re about to start an exciting journey to transform your wind turbine performance.

Some of the most attractive wind resources in the world are located in cold climate
regions. These regions are on the one hand sparsely populated and have favourable
wind conditions, but on the other hand cold climate conditions with temperatures
down to -35°C subject wind turbines to tremendous challenges in operation and
maintenance.

What Will You Learn in This Whitepaper?

In this whitepaper you will find out why blade heating systems are needed, the different solutions for blade heating and how they differ and the importance of a suitable control strategy. One thing is certain: Precise ice detection and optimized blade heating means more yield for your wind turbine. We show you exactly how you can achieve this with your wind turbine in our whitepaper. Therefore, we summarise all the information needed, so that you can get a clear picture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What approaches are state-of the-art for wind turbine blade heating?

The two technical solutions which have been established on the market by wind turbine
OEMs are: hot air heating inside the blade and electro-thermal heating elements laminated in the blade surface. Both approaches are part of the Whitepaper Blade heating.

I have no blade heating system on turbine(s). Is this still relevant for me?

Yes, it can be also informative for you, if you have losses due to icing, as we also show different retrofittable solutions.
