Research Progress in Anti-icing Coating for Wind Turbine Blades
[Purposes]Wind turbine blades are prone to icing and ice accretion at low temperatures,mak-ing the analysis and research of anti-icing coating technology of significant importance.[Methods]This paper conducts a literature search and indexing on the anti-icing coating technology for wind turbine blades,reviewing the existing anti-icing coating literature and technologies both domestically and inter-nationally,and lists the types and principles of existing anti-icing coatings.[Findings]Current research includes hydrophobic coatings,heating-type coatings,and other functional coatings,with hydrophobic coatings being the focus of research.[Conclusions]Using hydrophobic coatings combined with electro-thermal coatings for de-icing will become the main solution for anti-icing of wind turbine blades in the future.
