How does ice affect a wind turbine?

0

Ice build up on the blades will actually slow or stop the rotation of the wind system due to the effects of additional weight which makes them less aerodynamic thus resulting in slower rotation of the blades. As the sun warms the ice, it will begin to melt and the wind system will slowly start rotating.
