So tell us exactly why wind turbines can't operate in the cold.

We would all love to hear the reasons.

Edit:

This relates perfectly at how new passenger aircraft designs are certified for flight in very very cold environments to pass and receive their first original airworthiness certificates.

It's called cold soak testing.

But winter also comes with a problem: freezing weather. Even light icing can produce enough surface roughness on wind turbine blades to reduce their aerodynamic efficiency, which reduces the amount of power they can produce.Mar 4, 2021
