Vaisala and WindSim Complete Large Study on Wind Measurements

Extensive study supports use of Triton SoDAR data in challenging topography, paving way for more efficient wind measurement in remote regions

Vaisala, a global leader in environmental and industrial measurement, has collaborated with WindSim, a pioneer in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, on a study that demonstrates how the effects of complex terrain on wind measurements collected by remote sensing units can be mitigated. The collaboration has included the most extensive complex terrain validation of remote sensing data undertaken in the wind energy sector to date. The results establish a methodology for considerably reducing the uncertainty of data collected by the Triton Wind Profiler in complex terrain, opening the door to more effective measurement campaigns in... ...
