Icing

Wind Farm Icing Probability

Vortex ICING provides a fairly reasonable estimate of the combined probability of frost and wind between critical thresholds.

When the wind farm area is already selected but not yet the turbine locations or their class.

Any region worldwide, both on and off-shore.
100 m horizontal resolution.
Fully selectable areas in size (up to 400 km²), location and orientation.
Maps of minimum temperature and maximum density.
6 decreasing temperature thresholds.
Maps of days per year with temperatures below thresholds.
Maps of hours per year with icing rate above critical threshold .
Table wind speed and direction during icing periods.
Based on 10 years simulations.
Exportable to Google Earth KML and ESRI grid.
Makkonen Ice Accretion time series up to 30 years based on ERA5 reanalysis. (NEW!!)
