The turbine controller monitors power performance and takes input from climatic sensors and turbine operating parameters. Based on the input from the turbine controller and the system control box, the power is distributed across the optimal amount of heating elements. The result is ice-removal during turbine operation, securing continued energy production. Vestas Cold Climate Solutions Low temperature Vestas Low Temperature Option™ Primary concern: Health & Safety Icing Vestas Ice Assessment™ Primary concern: Maximising AEP Vestas Low Temperature Option™ Enabling turbine operation in ambient temperatures as low as -30°C, Vestas Low Temperature Option™ employs heating elements to ensure the continued operation of temperature-sensitive components. Vestas Ice Detection™ The Vestas Ice Detection™ system detects ice build-up on turbine rotors and helps to limit the risk of ice throw. The Vestas Anti-Icing System™ and Vestas Ice Detection™ can be combined in safety regulated sites to reduce downtime caused by the risk of ice throw. Vestas De-Icing™ Maximizing energy production in icy conditions, the Vestas De-Icing™ system uses air heaters to circulate hot air within the turbine blades during standstill. Available for V112-3.45 MW®, V117-3.45 MW® , V1263.45 MW®, V117-4.2 MW™ and V136-4.2 MW™. Vestas Ice Detection™ Vestas Anti-icing System™ Vestas De-icing™ * Depending on siting and climatic conditions. The system retains 90% in climatic and operating conditions within the maximum performance operating envelope. ** IEA task 19 IPS warranty guideline ***Above IEA class II
