Task 19 began in 2019 and ended in 2021
About Task 19
The international expert group IEA Wind TCP Task 19 “Wind Energy in Cold Climates” gathered and provided information about wind energy in cold climates
Cold Climate areas are regions where icing events or periods with temperatures below the operational limits of standard wind turbines occur, which may impact project implementation, economics, and safety.
Our mission was to improve the large-scale deployment of cold climate wind power in a safe and economically feasible manner.
The group studied a variety of topics, including project development; operation and maintenance (O&M); health, safety, and environment (HSE), standardization and recent research.
The operating agent for Task 19 was Timo Karlsson (timo.karlsson@vtt.fi).
