  • Wind turbine ice protection system
    Patent number: 12135015
    Abstract: Wind turbine ice protection systems and methods are provided. An ice protection system for heating a wind turbine blade includes: a heater disposed in an interior of the wind turbine blade, the heater for heating air; a blower disposed in the interior of the wind turbine blade and for moving the air across the heater to generate a heated airflow; a duct disposed in the interior of the wind turbine blade, the duct for receiving the heated airflow and releasing the heated airflow into the interior of the wind turbine blade; and an electrical control subsystem disposed in the wind turbine for controlling one or more components of the ice protection system.
    Type: Grant

  • Wind turbine blade de-icing systems and methods
    Patent number: 10823152
    Abstract: There is a system and method for de-icing a wind turbine blade. The system includes a heater for heating air and for attaching to an interior surface of the wind turbine blade, a blower for moving air across the heater to generate a heated airflow, and a flexible duct for receiving the heated airflow and for releasing the heated airflow into the interior of the wind turbine blade. The method includes generating heated air in the interior of a wind turbine blade, moving the heated air into a porous duct within the interior of the wind turbine blade, and passing the heated air through the porous duct and into the interior of the wind turbine blade to heat a surface of the wind turbine blade.
