Expert group study on recommended practices for wind energy projects in cold climates
1 like759 views
The report 'Recommended Practices for Wind Energy Projects in Cold Climates' discusses guidelines for developing and deploying wind energy systems in cold climates, with insights from IEA Wind R&D Task 19. It focuses on issuing voluntary recommendations for wind turbine design and site classification based on ice conditions. The final report will be available online in spring 2012.
