Abstract: The present invention relates to a heating installation arrangement and a method of forming the heating installation arrangement for a wind turbine blade. The heating installation arrangement (100) for a wind turbine blade comprises a sleigh (101), wherein the sleigh (101) forms a platform of the heating installation arrangement (100). The sleigh further includes a recess (109), wherein the recess (109) includes one or more connection points (110, 112) for a corresponding one or more heating apparatus.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method of controlling a temperature of a blade includes generating a first power production curve based on current weather conditions and generating a second power production curve based on future weather conditions. The method also includes, in response to determining that the second power production curve reduces a net power production loss of the blade more than the first power production curve, adjusting a heating cycle of the blade based on the second power production curve rather than the first power production curve.

Abstract: Temperature Control Based on Weather Forecasting Examples are generally directed to techniques for controlling a temperature of a blade, such as a blade in a wind turbine system. One example of the present disclosure is a method of controlling a temperature of a blade. The method includes inputting current weather conditions and future weather conditions into a processor, generating a first power production, generating a second power production curve based on future weather conditions, comparing the first power production curve to the second power production curve, determining which power production curve minimizes a new power production loss of the blade, and adjusting a heating cycle of the blade based on the power production curve that minimizes the net power productions loss of the blade.

Abstract: Examples are generally directed to techniques for controlling a temperature of a blade in a wind turbine system. One example of the present disclosure is a method of controlling a temperature of a blade in a wind turbine system. The method includes setting a target temperature, inputting physical conditions of the blade and ambient conditions about the blade into a processor, outputting a minimum amount of energy to a heating element of the blade required to reach the target temperature based on the physical conditions and ambient conditions, and adjusting the energy provided to the heating element to reach the target temperature.
