Meteorologically Sound BoomsWindPole has developed a boom that extends beyond the wind shadow of its towers.WindPole has developed a 20’ boom that facilitates bankable data collection from narrow-faced broadcast towers at hub height. Supported laterally with a tie-back assembly and vertically with a guy line, WindPole’s booms securely hold sensors 20’ from the tower. The design was guided by Annex G of the IEC 61400-12-1 and each installation is verified by ... |

Hub Height TowersTypically, wind data collection from 10 to 30 meter meteorological towers is used by a variety of weather prediction models to “guesstimate” UP to the hub height of today’s utility scale wind turbines. Or satellite data is used to “guesstimate” DOWN to boundary layer wind resources. Both forecasts can diverge appreciably from actual wind power availability and subsequent wind farm power output. These data sources were ... |
