IEA Wind R,D&D Task 19 This is the home page of an International Energy Agency collaboration called Wind Energy in Cold Climates, under R,D&D Wind http://IEAwind.org The purpose of this project is to gather and provide information about wind turbine icing and low temperature operation. This page also provides a new discussion forum for those who are interested in wind turbine operation in cold climates. A report produced within the Task 19 that summarises existing experiences in wind energy production in cold climates is available here - State-of-the-art of wind energy in cold climates (pdf). State-of-the-art -report will be updated until the end of 2008. Recommendations for wind energy developers in cold climates (pdf). The recommendations included in the report are intended to guide wind energy developers to a position where uncertainties related to cold climate issues are reduced to a minimum. Recommendations will be also updated until the end of 2008.Wind turbines operating in cold or icing climate worldwide
What is a Cold Climate? Wind turbines that either operate at outside the operational limits (lower than -20ºC) or that experience icing that causes production losses or impacts the type of turbine required. |
