Abstract:
A wind turbine is disclosed which comprises a control system configured to execute at least one ice removal routine which comprises a heating stage of at least one of the blades (3), and a mechanical removal ice stage. A wind turbine removing ice method is also disclosed which comprises a stage wherein the presence of ice is detected on at least one of the blades and, once said presence of ice is detected, comprises a stage wherein at least one ice removal routine is activated which comprises, in turn, a heating stage of at least one of the blades and a mechanical removing ice stage on at least said blade.
