Research on climate change impacts on renewable energy is becoming increasingly
relevant due to the vulnerability of the sector and to the continual development of …

Ice accretion may cause malfunction or serious performance degradation in outdoor facilities
and structures, such as aircraft, ship, locks and dams, offshore platforms, solar panels, wind …

Precipitation, atmospheric and in-cloud icing affect wind turbine operation in various ways,
including measurement and control errors, power losses, mechanical and electrical failures …

Expansion of wind energy installed capacity is poised to play a key role in climate change
mitigation. However, wind energy is also susceptible to global climate change. Some …

The impact of icing on wind turbines and energy production in northern regions is a severe
problem. Therefore, emphasis on developing ice mitigation systems has become a …

A field study was conducted to examine ice accretion on 50-m-long turbine blades and icing-
induced power production losses to multi-megawatt wind turbines. An unmanned-aerial …

We present an experimental and numerical study on the freezing of static water droplets on
surfaces with different wettability when the surfaces are subject to rapid cooling …

Wind turbine performance depends mainly on the wind speed and aerodynamics of blades.
The roughness generated from ice accretion can significantly reduce the aerodynamics and …

We present both modeling and experimental study of the freezing of a sessile water droplet
on a cold surface with different contact angles. The numerical model consists of two parts …

Wind turbine blades are subjected to fluctuating loads during operation, which makes them
vulnerable to reduced performance and mechanical failures. In addition, the maintenance of …
