INTRODUCTION:

Accuracy of wind speed measurement is very important for wind energy
projects!
Why? Because windpower is proportional to the cube of windspeed:
Wind Power(Watts)= A*V3  (v=wind speed in m/s)
So a small deviation in wind speed (eg 0.5 m/s at 5 m/s=10 %) will result
in a deviation of Wind Power of 30%!

Applications:

We supply complete tools for:
* Wind Energy Feasibility Studies (location studies, with approved accuracy certifcates)
* Power Performance Evaluation (Testfields, determinaton of Power Curve of Windturbines)

* Monitoring& Management  of Wind Energy Projects (eg Wind Farms)

Tools:
> First Class highly accurate systems can be supplied (or with low cost standard accuracy)
> MAST SYSTEMS UP TO 80 METER (incl installation options)
> Dataprocessing services and online presentation of data

 If  high accuracy is required  (with optional calibration certificate up to 0.1 m/s accuracy) and/or
 also recording of maximum, minimum and standard deviation (for determination of turbulence
 intensity) then our advanced 
Professional Windlogger is the best choice,  which is used for big wind energy
 projects (with optional Measnet/NIST calibration certificates and  can be supplied up to
 8 anemometers).
 Our professional windloggers are equiped with a highly accurate (1sec) running average filter and
 16 bits AD conversion (resolution of 0.01 m/s) and still have ultra low power consumption
 (appr 100uA).  Also the possibility to use our
iBOX datalogger with embedded webserver,
 network connections via Ethernet and Internet (wired/wireless WiFi/3G)

ACCURACY of wind speed measurements is a KEY FACTOR for wind energy projects!
The accuracy of the calculated Wind Energy production from wind data:

As the Power of a wind turbine is proportional to the cube of the wind speed (v3), a small deviation in wind speed will highly affect the calculation of the energy production. The relative deviation of the calculated energy production is equal to: 3*total system accuracy / average wind speed.


Accuracy of the energy prediction

For example: when the yearly average wind speed is 6 m/s, measured with a system accuracy of +/- 0.5 m/s, the error in the calculation of the annual energy production is appr. +/- 25%.

CONCLUSION:
The accuracy should be in the range of 0.1- 0.2 m/s for good results of the prediction
or evaluation  of the energy production of a (planned) wind energy project!

First Class systems are available in any configuration with First Class anemometers and calibration certificates, required if bank credits are used for financing wind energy projects:
- according to European MEASNET standard and according to IEC 61400-121-CD
- according to NIST standard for MAX40+ anemometer (low cost / high performance)
Expandable with meteo sensors and power transducers for power performance evaluation
Data processing software is available and data processing services are available
for eg: calculation wind energy production, determination of power curve of wind turbine etc.
