The Front CoverReliable atmospheric intelligence ensures that wind farm operators can proactively protect assets, mitigate hazards and maximise performance, even in the most challenging conditions. Without accurate weather monitoring capabilities, mechanical strains, physical damage and lost production can result in millions of dollars in repair costs and lost revenue for wind farm owners and operators.

The Front CoverThe research project Temporary Coating by Means of Drones – Icing Protection of Wind Turbines as a Case Study was carried out by Fraunhofer IFAM and IPA (page 6). The project involved 19 companies. The aim of the project was to provide the material technology basis for a temporary anti-ice coating and a drone-compatible application. The cover image shows a simulation of coating using a drone under the influence of wind.
