LabkoNet Ice helps manage wind turbine icing efficiently
LabkoNet Ice monitors ice detection systems in wind turbines, providing real-time data on icing events and their icing intensity. The service ensures safe and efficient turbine operations even in harsh weather conditions.
LabkoNet Ice monitors icing status and intensity
LabkoNet Ice collects and displays all essential data from the ice detector, including icing intensity and device status. This enables proactive decision-making and timely actions to prevent turbine downtime and safety risks.
Integrated ice warning lights for on-site safety
To further enhance safety of the wind farm area, LabkoNet Ice supports the use of ice warning lights that alert personnel to ice‑throw hazards in the wind farm area. The weather‑resistant system operates within mobile network coverage, transmitting ice information to the base station and onward to one or more substations equipped with flashing warning lights. These lights help operators meet building permit requirements and ensure that people on-site at wind farm are warned immediately when ice‑throw risk is present.
LabkoNet also provides remote visibility of warning light status on a map and offers statistics on alarm frequency and duration.
Activate the measures for the right parties automatically
LabkoNet Ice automatically sends alarms and notifications to the correct user groups — such as maintenance teams or safety personnel — based on predefined rules. This ensures that the right people are informed at the right time.
Why LabkoNet Ice matters
Icing must be managed responsibly to ensure operational safety and compliance. LabkoNet Ice provides early warnings of icing and enables remote monitoring, even when access to the turbine’s internal systems is restricted. This is especially valuable for operators with limited system access.
What LabkoNet Ice measures
The service tracks icing events, icing intensity, and device health. It also alerts users to maintenance needs, such as sensor cleaning or calibration, helping to maintain optimal performance.
Benefits gained through LabkoNet Ice
- Operational continuity: Early warnings reduce downtime and prevent damage.
- Remote access: View ice detector data securely without accessing the turbine’s internal systems.
- Data security: All data transmission is secure and verified by third-party testing.
- Retrofitting: LabkoNet can be installed on existing ice detectors or as a complete retrofit using Labkotec’s wireless 4G communication system.
- Compliance: Historical data and real-time monitoring help meet regulatory requirements.
- Efficiency: Real-time data on icing events ensures safe and efficient turbine operations.
