On larger projects it is essential to gather empirical wind speed measurements in order to prove the financial viability of a wind turbine project. Wind data used in site feasibility assessments is an average wind speed, usually based on an area of approximately 1km2 around the site. Whilst this data is perfectly fine for smaller turbines, with the high capital cost of larger units, empirical data could make the difference in ensuring profitability.

Renpower combine the very latest data logger technology with towers up to 90m tall to gather accurate wind speed and direction. We have IT professionals on staff to help you collect the data locally or we can do it for you. Using GSM systems, the information can be transmitted remotely, allowing us to collect and collate the information. The data is assembled into a report at the end of the measurement period, showing the amount of wind energy available and the likely profitability of a wind turbine.

Please call us for more information on how we can help you get the measure of the wind resource in your area.
