Ice & Rocks III is an opportunity to exchange experiences with others working in the field of wind energy in complex terrain, with high turbulence intensities and under icing conditions.

The program will gather a large number of representatives from all over Europe and discuss issues like technology development, latest research, operational experiences, policy making and economics. Participants will also get the chance to visit the Wind Farm Ravne on the Island of Pag.

The conference focuses on the following topics:

Operational experiences

• L. Horvath (Energy Institute Zagreb/HR): WF Ravne on Island of Pag
• L. Tallhaug (Institute for Energy Technology/NO): WF Havøygavlen on Norwegian coast
• H. Winkelmeier (Energiewerkstatt/AT): WF Moschkogel in the Austrian Alps

Project design in complex terrain

• H.-T. Mengelkamp (Anemos/DE): Wind climate simulation over complex terrain
• W. Langreder (Wind Solutions/DK): The impact of turbulence on power curves
• R. Cattin (Meteotest/SW): Wind forecast and experiences with Sodar and Lidar in complex terrain
• F. Durante (DEWI/DE): Round Robin numerical flow simulation in wind energy
• M. Courtney (Risø DTU/DK): Wind lidars – Not the final answer in complex terrain

Cold climate solutions

• H. Seifert (University Bremerhaven/D): Operation of wind turbines under icing conditons
• T. Laakso (Poyry/FI): Challenges and approaches to wind energy in cold climate
• G. Ronsten (WindREN/SE): Swedish cold climate wind energy projects

Local wind systems in SE Europe

• K. Sehbajaktarevic (Meteo Institute Sarajevo/BA): Case studies on synoptic pattern of extreme bura gusts
• V. Srdanovic (Institute for Multidisciplinary Research Belgrade/RS): Maistreams, hard rocks and icing in Serbia and SE Europe

Programme and Registration: Until 26th of April 2010, http://energiewerkstatt.org/
