Ice accretion on the blades change the initial shape and this cause alteration in the aerodynamic characteristic of the blades. The objective of this study is to predict the shape of the iced blade sections of the turbine blade under atmospheric icing conditions. The obtained results are verified with experimental and numerical ice shapes reported in the literature. In all the cases studied, the current numerical tool yields results that are in fair agreement with the compared results and can be used to predict ice accretion on wind turbine's blades under atmospheric icing conditions.

Ice accretion prediction on wind turbine blades and aerodynamic shape optimization for minimizing power production losses Yırtıcı, Özcan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) The global wind energy resources are plentiful in cold climate regions and mountainous areas, which cause ice formation on wind turbine blades. Prediction of ice accretion on wind turbine blades makes it possible to estimate the power losses due to icing. Ice accretion on wind turbine blades is responsible for significant increases in aerodynamic drag and decreases in aerodynamic lift, and may even cause premature flow separation. All these events create power losses and the amount of power loss depends on ...

Ice Accretion Prediction on Wind Turbines and Consequent Power Losses YIRTICI, ÖZCAN; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Özgen, Serkan (2016-10-07) Ice accretion on wind turbine blades modifies the sectional profiles and causes alteration in the aerodynamic characteristic of the blades. The objective of this study is to determine performance losses on wind turbines due to the formation of ice in cold climate regions and mountainous areas where wind energy resources are found. In this study, the Blade Element Momentum method is employed together with an ice accretion prediction tool in order to estimate the ice build-up on wind turbine blades and the en...
Ice Accretion Prediction on Engine Nacelles in Liquid Phase Clouds Özgen, Serkan; Görgülü, İlhan; Tatar, Volkan (null; 2015-09-22) More than a hundred in-flight incidences have been reported in the last two decades related to icing on aircraft engine components including rollbacks, mechanical failure and flameouts [1, 2]. Thus, in-flight ice accretion on aircraft engine components and nacelles has been attracting more interest, especially from the airworthiness certification point of view. Computer simulations as well as ground and flight tests are among the means of compliance for airworthiness certification related to safe flight in ...
