Icing

Icing on wind turbines or power lines is a challenge

Ice accumulation can lead to the collapse of power lines or to significant production losses and safety risks on wind farms. With years of experience and the right tools we can support you in risk analysis and in determining countermeasures.

Based on icing measurements we can determine the icing rate at your site. Based on this information we can predict the expected reduction in the annual energy yield due to icing. With our icing forecast model SWIM, we create reliable icing assessments for your next wind energy project. For the operation of wind farms, we provide 72-hour icing forecasts which are accessible through our webservice.
