Wind Monitoring

SgurrEnergy provide a variety of wind monitoring solutions to evaluate the wind resource potential at your prospective wind farm site.

Wind monitoring masts ranging in height from 10m to 80m can be installed.

10 Metre Mast

• The standard 10m mast contains two anemometers and one wind direction vane.
• The mast is supported by steel guy wires in four directions.
• No cranes or concrete foundations are required.
• The wind speed and direction is recorded on a data logger attached to the mast.

40 - 80 Metre Mast

• The 40-80m masts contains four or more anemometers and two or more wind direction vanes at different heights on the tower. The measurements at different levels allow the wind shear profile of the site to be calculated.
• The mast is supported by steel guy wires in four directions.
• No cranes or concrete foundations are required.
• The wind speed and direction from all the anemometers and direction vanes is recorded on a data logger attached to the mast. The data logger can have a modem allowing remote data retrieval and diagnostic checks to be carried out.

Lidar Wind Resource Assessment

• Measure wind shear profile across the whole rotor diameter.
• No planning permission required
• Verify wind flow models at multiple locations
• Suitable for otherwise inaccessible locations
• Can be deployed in forestry
• Compact and portable enables quick and easy deployment
• The perfect partner to cup anemometry

Instrumentation Booms

SgurrEnergy have developed a mast top instrumentation boom that complies to the International Standards (including IEC 61400-12). These instrumentation booms ensure that the minimum separation of the instruments from any obstructions is achieved.

The instrumentation booms are designed to work with NRG instrumentation, and allow a quick one piece installation onto the mast head.

The instrumentation booms are manufactured from mild steel and painted with a zinc rich paint. These booms are available for only £225 + VAT each. To order an instrumentation boom or for more information, contact SgurrEnergy, or e-mail info@sgurrenergy.com
