Wind measurement

Reliable measurement of wind conditions is an essential factor in reducing the financial risk involved in wind power projects. Before an investment decision is made, it is necessary to carry out wind measurements for one to two years in the area in order to ensure the wind conditions, mean wind velocity, turbulence, etc.

The measurement must be taken at the designed hub height of the wind turbine. Regardless of the length of the measurement period, the results for the period should always be compared with the wind velocity measured at the nearest weather stations or a nearby wind farm over the same period, as well as with the mean long-term values at these locations in order to find out whether the year during which the measurement period takes place has average, strong or weak wind conditions.
