WINDWATCHER
Wind Watcher Data Logger
The
WindWatcher provides basic wind speed, direction, and wind power density information
in an easy-to-install, easy-to-use package. Instantaneous and historical wind
data are available at the touch of a button. Stored data can be used for prediction
or verification of wind turbine performance.
Inexpensive totalizers or weather stations that provide only average wind speed don't give a complete picture of your site's wind energy potential. The WindWatcher provides a professional quality, complete assessment.
The WindWatcher includes a #40 anemometer, 30 m cable, 406 mm (16 inches) sensor stub mast, grounding cable, D-cell battery and enclosure.
