Economic viability analysis for icing blades detection in wind turbines

Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) of wind turbines in cold climates are closely related to ice accretion. The deterioration of RAMS of the wind turbines involves costs such as Operation and Maintenance costs and energy losses. Systems to monitor the condition of the wind t...
