Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Iles
$24,993.00
Development of met masts for ice detection in cold climates
FY 2018-19
Summary
In collaboration with Campbell Scientific (Canada) Corp (CSC), the TechnoCentre eolien (TCE) will optimize permanent met masts for ice detection in cold climates. The objective is to develop an integrated ""intelligent"" system that not only withstands harsh cold climate conditions but also warns the operator of potential sensor issues and ice presence. CSC's customers will be able to use the met mast system developed in this project to know when to start their de-icing systems and plan operations and maintenance activities. The project will also serve to accelerate cold climate research by enabling installation of sources of high-quality cold climate data. The met masts adapted for cold climate will serve as a reference for wind farm operators across Canada.*
