"The Wind Turbine Ice Protection System (WTIPS) is an electro-thermal
system originaly developed by Kelly Aerospace Thermal System for use on aircraft
The ice protection system utilizes a thin film heating technology that allows
for rapid increase and decrease in temperature with minimal power usage.
The externally mounted heater mats allow the system to be adaptable to many
different platforms. The system is easy to install and maintain compared
to other ice protection systems.
The ice protection system is software controlled and can be monitored
and operated offsite through wireless communication.
WTIPS is a state of the art proven, ice protection technology which can
be adapted to any wind turbine design."
