Smart Solution to Icing Accretion Problems

摘要

The present article is an opinion which addresses the challenges of human activity in cold regions. This opinion is focused on the different approaches which can be used to tackle the specific problem of icing accretion of external structures such as power distribution systems, under the project entitled: Study on Atmospheric Icing on Structures in the High North. In this sense a description of the International cooperation between Chongqing University and UiT-The Arctic University of Norway, supported by The Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU) is described and analyzed with a view to finding solutions to increase the reliability of system operations. Trust in the power distribution relies on knowledge and understanding of the icing accretion phenomena. This is achieved by different means such as theoretical, analytical or numerical approaches that will create the base for the development of automated solutions including robot alternatives.
