During atmospheric conditions characterized by relatively high air humidity and temperatures around freezing point, water particles in the air settle as frost or rime at the surfaces of turbine blades. Even though there is under such conditions no direct danger for ‘ice throw’, it remains key to inform residents about a turbine’s status.
The Ice Alert Display could be connected to Topwind’s Ice Protection System (IPS), and has two modes:
The main function is notifying managers and other responsible persons in surrounding businesses to enforce their internal safety protocols.
Stand-alone system

A module with solar panels and batteries in case a stand-alone system is required. The communication signal is transmitted to the display via GPRS.

The display can be supplied single-sided and double-sided.

In addition to displays, it is possible to install warning lights on the tower of the turbine. The warning lights can notify residents that the wind turbines have been stopped, allowing safe access to the turbine surroundings during Ice Stops.

Focus is at the viability of your business cases through finding the optimal match between wind turbines and their surroundings.
IPS is unique in its capability to prevent icing, whereby a given turbine is manually or automatically switched off before blade surface ice settlement has occured.
Monitoring implies the registration of bat activity with an ultrasound microphone located within the nacelle base near the rotor.
