Isaac Segovia and Fausto P. Garcia have attended to the Wind Turbine Icing & Ice Prevention Forum, held in Wyndham Garden Berlin Mitte, Berlin, Germany, from 4th – 5th November 2017. Fausto, speaker´s committee, has presented the advanced done in Icing Windturbine Blades. The conference has analysed the following topics in different workshops:
Market Trends and Ice Detection Experience
WIND RESOURCES ASSESSMENT AND FORECASTING
IN COLD CLIMATE CONDITIONS
ICEPHOBIC COATING AND TURBINE PERFORMANCE
IN COLD CLIMATES
BLADE DEFECT DETECTION AND CONDITION
MONITORING
ICE FALL PREDICTION AND RISKS ASSESSMENTS
Fausto was presenting a case study on Ultrasonic Signals for Icing Blades Detection and Blade
Condition Monitoring, considering
- Icing blades prediction
- Ultrasonic waves to detect ice on blades
- Case study on NDT to predict ice on wind turbine blades
