VGB News | Personalien VGB PowerTech 7 l 2021 VGB News Efficient electricity generation through wind power, even in icy temperatures • An interdisciplinary team of experts from VERBUND, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, the University of Vienna and Meteotest is researching the use of intelligent rotor blade heaters in wind turbines in the joint research project SOWINDIC. These heaters are intended to ensure efficient electricity production in winter temperatures. Blick von oben auf Vereiste Windkraftanlage , winterliche Landschaft, © Verbund Alongside hydropower, wind energy is Austria’s most important alternative source of energy. In the winter months, the alpine climate causes not only windscreens and car doors to freeze up, but also the rotor blades on wind turbines. When this happens, wind turbines have to be brought to a stop and defrosted, either with a rotor blade heater or by natural means. This shutdown causes unpredictable production losses. To nevertheless ensure a stable electricity supply, the generating companies have to purchase expensive electricity or resort to conventional power plants such as, for example, gas power plants. The SOWINDIC – Smart Operation of Wind Turbines Under Icing Conditions research project launched in April 2021 investigates the intelligent operation of rotor blade heaters for wind turbines, as a means to use these with maximum efficiency. Financed through the Climate and Energy Fund and under the consortium leadership of VERBUND, Austria’s leading energy company, experts of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technical, Austria’s largest non-university research facility, the research association “Data Science @ Uni Vienna” and Meteotest AG, a specialist for weather, climate and environmental data, are working on the development of an optimised rotor blade heater control system. The project aims at delivering two initially independent approaches for the optimised operation of the rotor blade heater, which will later be merged within the scope of a so-called hybrid model: on the one hand, the working group “Applied mathematics with a focus on optimisation” of the University of Vienna will examine and further develop existing Machine Learning strategies for their suitability; on the other hand, Meteotest will research an empirically based approach that builds on physical models. Both strategies pursue the goal of being able to predict the ice-caused production failures of wind turbines as precisely as possible using control, sensor, weather and market data. A network component specially adapted by AIT will capture the data streams as close to the system as possible, implement both algorithms on the wind turbine with real-time capability, and use them for automated, optimised control of the rotor blade heater. As an operator of wind turbines, VERBUND will mainly focus on validating the developed models and bring its many years of operating knowledge to bear in the project. Austria will be further strengthened as a knowledge, business and climate location through the cooperation of leading, Austrian companies and research institutions with strong international partners such as Meteotest.

Paddy Hayes joined ESB from British Steel in 1999 and was appointed Managing Director, ESB Networks in 2018. Prior to this he held the position of Executive Director, Generation and Wholesale Markets. A chartered engineer with a Masters Degree in Engineering from University College Dublin and an MBA from the University of Warwick, Paddy is currently co-chair of the European Distribution Transmission Cooperation Platform. Terence O’Rourke, Chairman of ESB said, “On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to announce Paddy Hayes as the new Chief Executive of ESB. He takes over the role at a challenging time for the country, the industry and the company. Paddy brings enormous business experience, expertise and a track record of achievement to the role. I am confident he will be outstanding in the position. I also want to thank Pat O’Doherty, the outgoing Chief Executive for the many years of dedicated service to ESB. Pat has led the transformation of ESB over the last decade in Ireland and has focussed the company on the transition to a low carbon future. I wish him the very best for the future.” Paddy Hayes said, „ESB is an outstanding company. I am delighted and honoured by the trust placed in me and looking forward to working with the Board and everyone in ESB as, together, we play our part in delivering a low carbon future based on clean electricity.” Minister for the Environment Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan TD said, “I want to congratulate Paddy Hayes on his appointment. ESB has an important role to play in helping us reach our climate goals and I am looking forward to meeting with Paddy in due course. I also want to thank Pat O’Doherty for his outstanding leadership of ESB over the last decade, during which Ireland reached over 42 % renewable electricity. He has left ESB well positioned to lead the transition to a low carbon economy and I wish Pat well in the future.” LL www.esb.ie (212251521) 92
