- 6. Gütsch Does ice throw occur? Enercon E-44 - How often? - How far? - How heavy? - Where? Enercon E-40 Enercon E-44 Ca. 7 days/year meteorological icing Ca. 30 days/year instrumental icing Ca. 150 days/year temperature below 0°C Wind turbines equipped with blade heating Ice throw studies | Seite 6 | 2012-02-08

- 8. Method After each icing event, the area around the wind turbine is inspected for ice throw. All found ice fragments are recorded - Distance - Angle - Size - Weight - Type of ice (rime, glaze, wet snow) - Photo of ice fragment Ice throw studies | Seite 8 | 2012-02-08

- 11. Methodik • Not all events could be captured • Inspection partly delayed • Exact time of ice throw unknown • No distinction between ice throw and ice fall Inspections during 4 winters (2005 bis 2009) à 32 icing events recorded à 228 ice fragments documented à Also during summer Ice throw studies | Seite 11 | 2012-02-08

- 20. Conclusions • Ice throw occurs • Wind conditions during icing event define risk areas • Ice throw when blade is moving downwards? • 50% of ice fragments found under rotor blade • Heavy ice fragments (> 600 g) under rotor blade • Ice throw also during summer time à Übertragbarkeit der Resultate auf grössere WEA??
