Case Study » Wales: Wind Prospecting

Project Summary

Application Type:
Offshore wind prospecting in harsh conditions.

Location:
North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm, Wales

Products Used:
CSM1 Card Storage Module CR10X

Contracting Agencies:
npower renewables, (formerly National Wind Power)

Measured Parameters:
Wind speed, wind direction, temperature, pressure

A Campbell Scientific datalogging system monitoring the site of a new offshore wind farm in harsh conditions has provided better than 99 percent data recovery. npower renewables (formerly National Wind Power), the UK's leading wind energy developer and operator, has monitored numerous prospective wind farm site locations across the UK, Europe, Africa, and the USA with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. Seven anemometers, three wind vanes, two temperature sensors, and a pressure transducer all feed signals into one datalogger.
