Abstract:
Improvements Relating to Wind Turbine Sensors A sensor apparatus for a wind turbine is described. The apparatus comprises a sensor and a heating system. The heating system comprises an optical fibre arranged to transmit electromagnetic radiation from a light source to the sensor. The sensor is irradiated by the electromagnetic radiation thereby heating the sensor and preventing or reducing ice accretion.
