    Abstract : Wind farms are nowadays more often constructed in alpine terrain than earlier due to theprofitable wind resource as well as, often, less conflicting interests than in more denselypopulated areas. The cold climate poses a relatively new challenge to the wind power industrysince icing of the wind turbine blades and sensors may induce losses in production, increasethe wear and tear of the components, leading to a shortening of structural life time as well as itdecreases the availability and hence reducing the economical profitability for the owner.
