The four V112-3.3MWs, being erected next year on an unnamed wind farm development in Austria, will feature the Vestas De-icing System (VDS), which uses a combination of ice detection sensors and a hot air-flow unit to stop build up of snow and ice on blades that could lead to lower production output.
“The VDS’ hot air flow targets the blade’s most critical parts to efficiently melt ice build-up, with no negative impact on the noise level or overall performance of the turbine,” states Vestas chief technology officer Anders Vedel.
