Abstract: Many operators of wind turbines have to face problems of frequent or occasional functional impairment of turbine operation due to icing. This paper presents hands-on experience from operators as well as research results. It gives insight on the amount of time which might affect turbine operation for central Europe. Examples of the variety of on-site problems which operators and equipment have to live with are pre- sented as well.

A Review of the Effects of Ice Accretion on the Structural Behavior of Wind Turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, a review study of the effects of ice accretion on the structural behavior of wind turbines is presented, showing that large ice accumulation may cause wind turbine vibration due to uneven ice shedding, which could lead to structural failures in addition to hazardous issues accompanied with ice being shed off wind turbine blades.
