USE OF AUTOMATION IN WIND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT ACCURACY

摘要

Generally, a wind data acquisition system configured to perform wind resource assessments. A system consistent with the present disclosure may provide a cost-effective data acquisition and analysis system useful for performing wind resource assessments. The system may be configured to automatically detect heights and bearings of instrument mounting booms associated with a wind tower. The system may further be configured to improve the accuracy of differential temperature measurements of a wind tower by providing automatic calibration of components used to measure differential temperature.
