This project will analyze the behaviour of more than 30 wind turbines installed over 4 wind farms located in Eastern Canada. On each of the wind farms, two of the wind turbines to be analyzed will be equipped with a retrofitted blade heating system by the Canadian company Borealis Wind inc. The project aims to improve the performances of the wind turbines by developing "what if" scenarios and adapting the operational strategy for the activation of the retrofitted ice protection systems (IPS) developed and installed by Borealis. The project is planned to be executed over a 12-month period during which a complete winter will be analyzed in quasi real-time such that incremental adjustments to the operational strategy of the IPS will be tested. Historical data from winter 2019-2020 will also be analyzed to fully understand the behaviour of the systems. An evaluation of the reclaimed power production will highlight the performances of the system and provide a precise estimate on the reduction of the icing losses that can be obtained using appropriate systems. The long term objective of this collaboration is to improve the power production of wind farms across Canada through the improvement of operational strategy for already installed IPS and through the implementation of reliable IPS on wind turbines experiencing extensive icing losses during the winter season.

该项目将分析在加拿大东部4个风电场上安装的30多个风力涡轮机的行为。在每个风电场上，加拿大公司Borealis Wind Inc有两个要分析的风力涡轮机将配备改装的刀片加热系统。该项目旨在通过开发“如果”场景并调整操作策略来激活改装冰保护系统（IPS），以改善风力涡轮机的性能。该项目计划在一个12个月内执行，在此期间，将在准实时分析整个冬季，以便测试对IPS的运营策略的增量调整。还将分析2019 - 2020年冬季的历史数据，以充分了解系统的行为。对回收功率生产的评估将突出系统的性能，并提供有关减少结冰损失的精确估计，这些损失可以使用适当的系统获得。这项合作的长期目标是通过改善已经安装的IPS的运营策略以及在冬季遭受大量结冰损失的风力涡轮机上实施可靠的IP，改善加拿大风场的动力生产。
