Ice protection systems can make a big difference in maintaining efficiency and safety through harsh winter conditions. Here’s how they help safeguard your wind farm: 1️⃣ Prevent Damage to Turbine Blades Ice throw incidents can cause serious damage to turbines and surrounding infrastructure. Ice protection keeps blades clear, reducing risks to property and personnel. 2️⃣ Reduce Maintenance Downtime Ice buildup makes it hard for technicians to safely access turbines, leading to costly delays. With ice mitigation, maintenance is safer, faster, and more efficient. 3️⃣ Minimize Long-term Revenue Losses Even minor icing can reduce efficiency and lead to expensive mechanical issues over time. Continuous ice protection ensures sustained energy output and helps protect your bottom line. 4️⃣ Enhance Public Perception A proactive approach to ice management improves safety and builds community trust in renewable energy.

FAQ: "How much ADDITIONAL revenue can ice protection generate for my wind farm?" That's right -- comprehensive ice protection doesn't just mitigate ice, it works to increase your annual energy production putting more money in your pocket. The BorealisWind Ice Protection System (IPS) can increase your wind turbine’s annual energy production (AEP) by 8-10%, depending on the turbine’s location and size. In most cases, the system fully repays its initial cost within the first year, generating tens of thousands of dollars in additional revenue through increased power production. Get the answer to other frequently asked questions at: https://lnkd.in/emG4dnFf Ready to increase your revenue?
