Ice Protection Systems that work
The BorealisWind IPS prevents ice formation on wind turbine blades to ensure continuous energy production for wind farms in cold conditions. The IPS prevents unexpected shutdowns of wind turbines and ensures stable energy delivery during winter.
Thanks to our patented technology, the system solves both anti-icing and de-icing issues. It heats the blade from the inside, shedding the ice from the exterior of the blade. This prevents unanticipated shutdowns of wind turbines and ensures stable energy delivery during winter when energy costs and financial returns are the highest. Removing the ice from the blade also reduces wear on the turbine and reduces the safety risk caused by ice build up.
BorealisWind IPS is DNV certified to meet IEC 61400-22.
How does it work?
Our system continuously monitors ice formation and intelligently activates to remove ice and ensure continued operation to maximize performance and financial returns.
The system, installed inside the blade a ensures that warm air circulates within the leading edge of the blade heating the tip, which is a critical icing area. The control system integrates with the turbine safety chain and collects data from the SCADA system. The ice detection sensor detects icing events as they begin, ensuring that the blades are heated before ice buildup starts.
System as a service
The BorealisWind Ice Protection System is offered based on a "system as a service" financial model for a yearly flat fee. This includes rental of the Ice Protection System and a comprehensive installation, maintenance, and service plan to maximize turbine performance in cold conditions for the whole turbine life cycle.
Our "system as a service" model allows you to free up capital and generate ROI. It also avoids system maintenance burdens and supports your ESG objectives. We take complete responsibility for the system performance so you can focus on your core business.
