Abstract

The dependence of atmospheric icing on wind turbine size was revealed by performing numerical simulations of ice accumulation on four different wind turbine blade profiles. The profiles were for 450 kW, 600 kW, 1 MW and 2 MW wind turbines, and the simulations indicate that dry rime icing is less severe for larger wind turbines both in terms of local ice mass and in terms of ice thickness.
