WindLogics has recently upgraded its Onsite Data Management System through the recently released Onsite 3.1 software for helping operators and developers of the wind energy to monitor their met towers remotely for maximizing their investment in the wind measurement field.
This upgrade will offer increased functionality in response to feed back from the wind energy users, including functionality for attaching documents to a met record of a tower and dynamic creation of wind roses.
The Onsite system has the ability to sense changes in the health status of a wind sensor and transmit related data and alerts to the owner of a met tower directly. Such continuous checking of quality data can ensure that issues involving equipment problems are sorted for enhancing the met tower data value for use in bank worthy and formal assessments. Since 2005 the number of met towers who have enrolled in this system exceeds 700. Presently, Onsite is utilized for managing met towers that relate to over 30,000 MW future wind energy products that is equivalent to thrice the wind power installed in the U.S. during 2009.
Wind data from every met tower is gathered automatically, processed and stored by Onsite. It also incorporates web-based user interfaces for permitting users to view or enter met tower information, including maintenance histories and configurations, and analyze quality-scrutinized data from any tower or sensor combination. Wind energy analysts and staff meteorologists will be able to offer more support or assist with queries as part of the total wind energy services spectrum of WindLogistics.
OnSite system’s Product Manager Mike Coriale informed that the Onsite service helps various types of customers. He added that landowners of several towers will benefit from the company’s secure data storage capability, while the fleet-wide status reports of towers will help larger wind energy developers to track the health of many met towers.
