Only abstracts relevant to wind power located at cold climate sites, i.e. in low temperature and icing conditions, will be considered. Winterwind is a scientific and shared experiences conference. The program committee will favor presentations conveying a) recent research (theories, methods and verifications)b) independent comparisons (carried out by universities, test institutes, certification bodies etc.) of methods and products as well as c) practical operational methods and experiences. The only purely commercial oral presentations allowed will be those carried out by the wind turbine manufacturers. Commercial product activities are to be held in the exhibition hall.
