Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO121: Validation study of an Icing Atlas
Timo Karlsson, Senior Scientist, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.
Abstract
Ehn building wind turbines in cold climate conditions, ice accretion on the blades can cause various problems for the site operator. Early knowledge of icing conditions is important for the developers to make correct decisions when building in cold climate conditions. An icing atlas is a map of icing conditions that can be used to evaluate icing conditions at a given site. VTT has built an icing atlas based on measurement data and weather reanalysis data to represent a long-term average likelihood of icing at any given location. This icing atlas is validated against various icing measurements for multiple locations to assess the accuracy of the icing atlas. The validation study helps assess the accuracy of the method. Based on the accuracy evaluation the potential use cases of the icing atlas are evaluated. Having knowledge of the icing conditions early on in the development process can help site developers choose their turbines and instrumentation properly. The validation in this study has been done at elevations relevant for modern day wind turbines at more than 200 m above ground level.
