A study by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) confirms that measurements taken by Second Wind’s Triton wind profiler system of wind speed and direction correlated well to meteorological (met) tower-based measurements.
“The Triton measurements correlated well with the met tower measurements during the six months we studied,” said NREL Principal Scientist Dennis Elliott. “We see Triton as a valid stand-alone system for wind measurement studies. In addition, Triton was reliable, with an uptime of over 98 percent.”
