Norconsult has supported NN with analytical work related to quantification of both ice accretion, ice detachment, damage to PV modules, and a no-build radius recommendation between wind turbines and PV modules by means of financial modelling. Our initial analysis was later expanded to cover additional aspects such as design considerations for the PV plant and safety considerationsfor O&M.
Client: NN
Period: 2021 – 2024
NN is developing a utility-scale solar PV plant in-between several wind turbines. Ice accretion on the blades and turbine tower is expected during the winter season, and ice detachment will cause damage to the PV plant and pose a safety hazard to personnel
