Research grade data logging monitoring system for wind energy farms

In this paper a research grade data logging monitoring system for wind energy farms is presented. Structure of metrological tower with wind speed and direction sensors, air temperature and humidity sensors, barometric air sensors and data logger is presented. System was tested with various sample rates (from 1 Hz to 200 Hz) of four simulated digital anemometers, with various sample rates (1 Hz and 10 Hz) of four analog temperature and humidity sensors and with fixed sample rate (10 Hz) of four analog barometric pressure sensors. System performances are tested in laboratory conditions and results of testing are presented.
