This article aims to predict ice loads on a wind turbine blade section at 80% of blade span, using FENSAP ICE. Using low and high liquid water content conditions of stratiform and cumuliform clouds, different icing events are simulated. Ice accretion predictions with single-shot and multi-shot approaches are presented. Blade surface roughness is also investigated, as well as the relationships between ice mass, liquid water content, median volume diameter, and temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
