Wind turbine maintenance – problems and solutions

DEICING

Ice on Wind turbine blades forces turbine downtime.

– Up to 20% revenue loss in Canada, Northern US&EU
– Before Aerones deicing was difficult
and not a safe task – done with helicopters
or expensive heating systems
– Aerones reduces risk, is 5x faster & 5x cheaper

CLEANING

Bugs and dirt on blades reduces blade efficiency
and causes erosion of the blades.

– In South of Spain, Texas, India, Mexico –
bug problem & dust
– Should be cleaned up to 4x a year
– North EU, USA, CA – needs to be cleaned
before applying hydrophobic coatings

APPLYING COATING 

Increases efficiency & extends wind turbine life

– ICE Adhesion Reduction Factor – 60
– Reduces bug/dirt accumulation
– Increases the lifespan of a blade by 20-30%
– Needs to be reapplied every year
