Winterwind Conference in Åre

This year, Energiewerkstatt once again took part in the international Winterwind Conference in Sweden, the wind industry’s annual event on challenges and innovations in the development and operation of wind turbines in cold climates. On the one hand, a workshop was organized under the leadership of the Energiewerkstatt as part of the IEA Wind TCP Task 54 “Cold Climate Wind Power” on the topic of “Performance Envelopes of Blade Heating Systems” to collect feedback from the community on developments and requirements in this area. The Energiewerkstatt also gave a conference presentation on the results of the “NICE” research project on nanostructuring surfaces using ultrashort pulse lasers, which was carried out jointly with the Vienna University of Technology. The conference presentation can be found under the following link: NICE – Reduction of ice formation by nanostructuring of surfaces with an ultrashort pulse laser Further information on the NICE project can be found on the homepage of the research project: www.nice-project.at
