Suddenly wind energy in cold climate is a hot topic. Several of the large manufacturers are now on the verge of offering de-icing systems.
...It wasn’t until a few years ago that the industry started looking at sites in cold regions. Then it dawned upon the developers that there were plenty of cold climate locations with excellent wind conditions.
Among the highlights during the first day at Winterwind 2012 was a stage presentation of de-icing solutions by six of the world’s leading manufacturers. Five of these systems are brand new and some have yet to enter the commercial market....
- Our anti-icing system can add 25 percent production during the icy season, said Lars Holm (Anm.: Nordex), senior vice-president of project development.....
Signals like that are already coming from the Swedish H&S Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket). Bel Bergenwall from the authority recently said that when de-icing systems are commercially available it won’t be legally possible for the potential owner to deselect such a safety feature in areas prone to icing.
- This implies big consequences, says Göran Ronsten: If you have no de-icing, you might not be able to sell.
