Systematic research on anemometer behavior under realistic operating conditions shows necessity for amendment in IEC standard

In a recently published white paper, consultant Deutsche WindGuard discloses the need for amending and specifying the basics for anemometer classification defined in IEC 61400-12-1. To date it is custom to classify anemometers under the atmospheric ambient conditions of the lab. This does not take into account the operating conditions, especially with regards to air pressure and temperature. Experiments by Deutsche WindGuard now show that ambient conditions have a much higher influence on the behavior of sensors than previously assumed. „As we have extensive experience with the classification of anemometers, we have been aware... ...
