Smart anti-icing system for rotor blades

Monday, December 1, 2014 - 08:50 in Physics & Chemistry

In very cold climate zones, the wind can blow with tremendous force. But wind turbines have rarely been built in these regions up to now. The risk of ice formation on the rotor blades is just too high. But now, an energy-efficient heating system frees these turbines from the ice in a matter of seconds. It is only switched on when water freezes.
