Ice build-up on wind power blades can affect efficiency by reducing the aerodynamics of the blades. The sudden release of ice through centripetal force can result in dangerous projectiles in the large chunks of released ice.
Ice build-up on wind power blades can affect efficiency by reducing the aerodynamics of the blades. The sudden release of ice through centripetal force can result in dangerous projectiles in the large chunks of released ice. Moreover, icing can add additional mass to the turbine structure, causing stress on supporting members and shortening the structure’s life span—strains which can culminate in catastrophic failure. Ice-phobic coatings aid in the release of ice and can even reduce ice build-up. A variety of test methods were used to test ice adhesion: the Zero Degree Cone test, a modified test from a NASA test method1 and, finally, an evaluation of the adhesion of ice to rotating blades in an icing chamber. The Zero Degree Cone test measures the force required to push a pin out an ice mold. The test measures the shear force required to pull a frozen-in-place ice block from a coated panel. Finally, the rotating blade test measures how much force is required to remove an icing layer from an aerodynamic surface. Several coatings, mainly silicone materials, were evaluated using the above testing. The results are presented in the following paper.
Specifying corrosion protection for the offshore wind turbine industry in the European CEN TC219(2) committee. This comprises corrosion protection specification for external as well as internal parts of the turbine foundations.

The Global coating market is having a lot of pressure from official bodies and customers to take the business into a green direction. A greener approach will create need for new products and specifications. Increased global trade will put further pressure on producer to serve similar qualities to all countries
Nuclear power provides a heat source for steam-electric generation that does not pollute the atmosphere. Heat is produced in a nuclear reactor by the neutron radiation emitted by the SteadyState fusion of enriched or natural uranium. The nuclear renaissance that is emerging in the United States will be based on new power plant designs from a variety of U.S. and international sources.
