Increase safety
Ice accumulating on turbine blades poses a significant safety risk to people and buildings in the vicinity. By detecting icing conditions, Labkotec LID-3300IP Ice Detector improves the operational reliability of the wind turbine and significantly reduces the risks caused by ice accumulation.
Reduce production losses
With the help of ice detection, you can start blade heating at a right time and thus reduce downtime and annual energy production (AEP) losses. By minimizing energy losses and maintenance costs, ice detection system improves the overall economic viability of wind farms.
Meet the requirements
Ice detection is often necessary in wind farms located in cold conditions. Designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of wind turbines and other critical infrastructure in cold climates, Labkotec’s ice detection system is the only ice detection solution in the market that meets the strict functional safety requirements and can be used as part of wind turbine operations that require PLd safety level according to ISO 13849-1.
Extend wind turbine lifespan
Ice accumulation on the blades strains the mechanics of the wind turbine and thus shortens its lifetime. Accurate ice detection helps in preventing ice-related damage, and extend the lifespan of the wind turbines.
Ready to use with easy installation
Labkotec ice detection system is easy and quick to install on any manufacturer’s wind turbine, including wind turbines that are already in use. Installation does not require separate lifting equipment or separate calibration.
The Labkotec ice detector can easily be connected to the wind farm’s SCADA system. Remote connection allows easy monitoring and parametering of the ice detector. In addition, the software updates of the ice detector can be done remotely.
The ice detector is fully compatible with LabkoNet – a flexible and easy to use remote monitoring system, to transfer and control alarm data.
The market leader
We have manufactured over 10,000 ice detection systems since the 1990s, and today Labkotec is the world’s most widely used ice detection system. We cooperate with all major wind power companies.
