Abstract: The global wind energy industry is characterized by rapid growth, consisting in technical and technological improvement of wind energy systems. An urgent task is to increase the reliability and efficiency of wind turbines operating in difficult external meteorological conditions. In this paper, an assessment of adverse meteorological phenomena that can reduce the energy potential of the air flow, disrupt the operation of wind turbines (cause erosion, icing on the blades), thereby reducing the resource of the blades. One of the determining atmospheric phenomena that has a significant impact on the performance and service life of wind turbines is precipitation. In the presence of precipitation in the form of rain, snow, hail, fog, the air flow can be considered dispersed and special approaches to modeling dispersed flows can be used. A study of the icing process of the surface of wind turbine blades was carried out in the Star-CCM+ hydrodynamic modeling package using the Dispersed Multiphase and Multiphase Interaction models based on mathematical modeling and numerical calculation methods. The influence of various moisture concentrators on the processes of precipitation formation intensification is considered in order to reduce the negative impact on wind turbine blades.
