OptoAtmospherics Offers Optimizer Advanced Atmospheric Measurement Units for Wind Farms

OptoAtmospherics offers the Optimizer advanced atmospheric measurement unit for the assessment of sites and wind farm operations. It provides micro-scale measurements based on which the performance of existing wind farms can be enhanced.

The Optimizer advanced atmospheric measurement unit is available in two configurations that include a turbine mounted system and a ground based unit. The ground based Optimizer is capable of scanning a complete region surrounded by different wind turbines, while the turbine mounted unit is designed for controlling a single wind turbine.

The use of the Optimizer advanced atmospheric measurement solution results in minimal maintenance as well as lower repair costs. It is supplied along with an advanced software package that has the capability to minimize downtime and enable maintenance schedule optimization. The other features of this advanced atmospheric measurement solution from OptoAtmospherics include speed regulation and load reduction options.

The atmospheric measurement solution from OptoAtmospherics increases the energy output of wind farms by real-time measurements as well as wind forecasting characteristics. The provision of wind forecasting also helps to minimize the hourly grid integration costs. The Optimizer advanced atmospheric measurement solution is also capable of simultaneously determining the direction and speed of wind along with density and temperature.
