The WindOne system is designed to
provide an affordable and easy-to-use solution for wind site evaluation
and wind generator power performance evluation. It easily supports both
simple and complex monitoring applications. The WindOne system records
wind speed, gust, turbulence intensity (standard deviation/average wind
speed) and direction, as well as the time and date, battery
voltage, and other optional important wind parameters, like
tempearture and atmospheric pressure.
The WindOne is capable of recording wind speed from one (up to eight!)
anemometers, making it ideal for more complex studies involving multiple
wind speed instruments and other sensors.
The accuracy is excellent by using a two paremeter calibration:
slope and offset of anemometer and meets international standards (like
WMO/IEA). Optional individual calibration certificates available
(MEASNET),
resulting in an excellent 0.1 m/s accuracy.
The 16 bits conversion & calculation of values assure an unbeatable
accuracy at very low costs.
The ultra low power consumption
of appr 100 uA makes it ideal for remote applications, running at safe
battery pack (no solar panel required, also not if the wireless GPRS
option is installed!)
The WindOne records directly to a Secure
Digital (SD™) card (128MB to 2GB) to provide reliable data
storage. An inexpensive SD™ card will store years of data at 10 min
intervals.
An optional wireless GPRS internet connection is possible: receive
datafiles automatically at a server! With optional online graphs,
see below.
Using the recorded data is simple. The SD™ card is inserted into a
card reader attached to the USB port on your computer and will then show up as a drive.
Microsoft Excel or practically any spreadsheet program
can be used to view, graph, and analyze your wind data. We also supply
ready to use
wind utilities
for calculations of eg Weibull parameters, Energy production, Frequeny
distribution etc.
Logs wind sensors, weather sensors,
analog inputs, and system parameters
- Anemometers (average wind speed, max,
min and standard deviation)
- Pre-calibrated (1 to 8 pcs)
for anemometers from Maximum/ NRG and Davis Instruments 7911/6410 or
First Class anemometers
Optional MEASNET calibration certificate and 16 bits resolution
for highest accuracy (0.1 m/s)
- Wind vane (wind direction, 1 to 6
pcs)
- Works with wind vanes from EKOPOWER
DIR21+, NRG 200P, and Davis Instruments. 7911/6410 or other types.
- Thermometer (temperature) and
atmospheric pressure sensor
- Optional inputs, like (12 or 16 bits)
0-5 VDC or 0/4..20 mA, counters, status, etc
- Real time clock
- Many optional sensors available:
voltage, current, temperature, relative humidity, rain fall, light
intensity, kWh (energy) and others
Possibilities:
- Adjustable sampling/logging
interval: The sample interval is minimal 1 sec, logging interval
is adjustable from 1 to 10000 samples (average, maximum, minimum and
standard deviation). For most applications, a10 min interval is ideal.
- Sensors and Mounting: Our
anemometers and wind vanes mount directly to with an stainless steel
M5 bolt to a vertical hole. The wind sensors can be located hundreds
of meters away from the WindOne system. Optional mounting arms are
available.
- Display: A laptop (with RS232
or USB interface) can function as super-display for reading current
information and is used for configuring the data logger, using the
supplied control software:
A simple menu-driven interface makes setup easy.
- Optional
Ultra low power Wireless GPRS connecton for receiving data
at
your
server via internet
and with optional
online
graphs
The WindOne system is also available with
Ethernet connection
with built in webserver, using the iBOX datalogger module.
Communication possible via ethernet and/or internet.
- Power Source: The WindOne
operates directly from any DC voltage source between 6 and 14 volts.
Ultra low Power consumption: approximately 100 uA, which allows the
WindOne to be powered from the wall, alkaline or lithium
batteries, or solar power systems, or AC adaptor
- Clock: An accurate real-time
clock is used to time-stamp each measurement. The clock is battery
backed and is accurate to within some minutes per year or better.
- Installation: The WindOne
mounts directly to a pole or mast using special clamps.
Wind sensors:
See overview with possibilities:
wind
sensors
or
acoustic anemometer
Other sensors/transducers:
additional
channels possible for eg solar radiation, power, status, 4..20
mA
and (AC and DC) power transducers for power performance
evaluation.
see products for more available
additional sensors and transducers
Sensor accessories:
To make the installation easier,
accessories for mounting wind sensors are possible with:
- tripod
- universal sensor mounting arm (USMA) for mounting wind sensors,
temperature/humidity sensors with shield WS21, solar sensor 6450 (with
bracket 6673).
Available for small or big masts (specify mast size at order)
- booms for masts.
