DNV DNV-RP-0175 PDF

This RP provides principles and technical requirements for wind turbines under icing conditions – both onshore and offshore.

The RP covers the following topics:

— external conditions

— design loads

— site assessment to identify risk of ice for a potential site

— ice detection, including de-icing and anti-icing procedures and influence on control and protection system

— manuals

— design requirements.

General requirements for wind turbine technical applications in low temperature climate (LT) are outside the scope of this RP. They may be found in DNV-RP-0363.
