Abstract
Canada has aggressive targets for introducing wind energy across the country, but also faces challenges in achieving these goals due to the harsh Canadian climate. One issue which has received little attention in other countries not experiencing these extremes is the behavior of the composite blades in winter conditions. The scope of this work is to study blade fatigue response in cold climates using a blade nite element model. First, temperature dependencies of material properties including fatigue coecient were estimated. Secondly, it was found that the natural frequencies of a 1.5 MW wind turbine blade are not signicantly altered at cold temperatures. Additionally, cold temperatures slightly increase stresses in the composite blade skin when the blade is loaded, due to an increase in stiness. Cold temperatures also lead to higher cyclic apwise bending moments acting on the blade. However, this increase was found not to aect the lifetime fatigue damage. Finally, it was found that the cold climate as seen in Canada improves the fatigue strength of saturated composite materials. For the materials, the predicted fatigue damage of the triaxial fabric and the spar cap layers in cold climate is half that of the fatigue damage at room temperature. This is caused solely by the temperature dependence of the fatigue coecient b which requires further experimental verication to validate the numerical results of the current study.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
