New DNV GL certificate for eologix ice detection systems: Reduction of the number of sensors per wind turbine while increasing the redundancy of the entire system Every two years, all ice detection systems approved by DNV GL are subject to recurring certification. In September 2020 we have completed the re-certification of our ice detection systems,…
These 6 factors should be considered when buying an ice detection system You are planning to buy an ice detection system and you still have not decided which system to buy or you would like to know whether you have taken into account the essential factors for the purchase. In the following article, the most…
What are the options for ice detection? There are a variety of systems for the detection of ice on the rotor blades or rather technologies for the detection of icing. Most frequent ones: Measurement of the ambient temperature Measurement of the ambient temperature and the humidity Anemometer comparison Nacelle-based ice detectors Camera systems Ice detection…
One major goal for manufacturers and operators of wind turbines is to achieve the highest possible efficiency by continuously optimising the wind turbines. At the moment, however, operators of wind turbines have to accept annual losses in earnings due to icing in the five-digit Euro range. In this whitepaper, you will learn how to optimise your wind turbine using an ice detection system…
