We are monitoring the energy output of three wind turbines and a solar array at our facility.
Various data loggers also monitor the wind speed.

The Test Results page is updated monthly with the energy production totals and wind data information.


Westwind
Westwind mkII, tower #1, 100 ft.
Wind Speed Logging Equipment

Tower #1 - NRG MAX 40 anemometer on a 48 inch boom mounted at 89ft. connected to an NRG Wind Watcher.

Tower #2 - F.E. anemometer on a 48 inch boom mount at 94 ft connected to a Datawind logger.

Tower #3 - The top boom is 106 inches long and holds an NRG Max 40 anemometer at 122 ft (hub height of the Air X turbine) plus an NRG 200P direction vane.

Two additional 54 inch booms are mounted at 100 ft. These hold 3 anemometers (2 NRG Max 40 and 1 F.E. anemometer) each is connect to a Second Wind datalogger.
