The new 2009 version of State-of-the-art of wind energy in cold climates (pdf) is available. The report produced within the Task 19 summarises existing experiences in wind energy production in cold climates. Also the new version of Recommendations for wind energy developers in cold climates (pdf) is available. The recommendations included in the report are intended to guide wind energy developers to a position where uncertainties related to cold climate issues are reduced to a minimum. Wind turbines operating in cold or icing climate worldwide What is a Cold Climate? Sites at which significant icing events or periods with temperatures lower than the operational limits of standard wind turbines may occur.		Information (TO BE UPDATED...): Publications Operational Experience Technical solutions in use Measurements & Instruments Knowledge on climatic conditions and resources Control anemometer and wind vane at Olostunturi-fjell Finland Send us information about icing and low temperature events Add a low temperature or icing WTG site to our list and map
