high fidelity data reveals hidden characteristics

11% difference in estimated power density projections

WINData has created the next generation met tower data logging technology using industry standard components and standards. The WINData logger, in partnership with OSIsoft, Inc. (makers of the PI System), allows for very high fidelity data to be captured from met tower applications. This high fidelity data gives WINData customers deeper insight into their site's potential.

Data from WINData's real time data logger can be stored on site for extended periods of time or be streamed live to WINData's central servers or your own PI System infrastructure. This gives you the information you need to make sound decisions, and puts met tower data right alongside SCADA data for wind farm operators.

The real-time data logger is able to operate either in a connected or disconnect fashion, and will catch up WINData's central servers in case of connectivity outages. The data logger operates completely off the grid and has minimal power requirements.

Your data can be made available to you in many different ways. From a completely Web-portal experience, to a daily, weekly, or monthly assessment of your sites. WINData analyses and custom analyses that you provide can all be used in conjunction with the data hosting services of WINData.

The data collected by WINData's real-time logger is an asset that becomes part of your site's power production profile estimate. Development and operating companies will use this archived data later for warranty and performance assessments long after the site has been developed. Due to the fact that the logger is based on the PI System from OSIsoft, your data will fit seamlessly into any operating company's operations infrastructure.

Because of the data's high fidelity, wind scientists and WINData experts can perform more detailed analysis on your site's wind patterns and discover hidden information that 10 minute average data obscures. Greater understanding of multi-level turbulence, wind direction shifts, and ramp event effects are all made possible by collecting better, high fidelity data.

WINData's comprehensive site assessment services rely upon having high fidelity data in order to uncover your site's true potential. If you have existing met tower installations, WINData can also upgrade your site to use these next-generation high-fidelity data loggers.
