Abstract

A first task on the agenda of using renewable energy resources is to identify them and make an assessment of the energy potential in the established area. In this context, the present paper describes in detail two certified systems developed with the aim of determining wind energy parameters. The paper is based on a real case study, and focuses on the use of advanced data acquisition, storage, transmission and processing technology for energy-related data. An optimisation of measurement techniques selected as to comply both the clients´ requirements and the existing conditions at the location under scrutiny is proposed. Both tested systems are able to operate independently and continuously and deliver real measurements respectively bankable information for potential wind projects developers.
