Vindlogger med to anemometre & vindfane

The wind gauge is working very well. Our trainees built a 10-meter-high steel tower, and the measuring equipment has been hanging there and operating reliably for a year. The measurements provided us with the information we needed. We are now changing the battery for the first time after a year, which is also great.

We purchased Lewl Windlogger for our projects after technical support professionally explained what the error margin of the standard anemometer is compared to a calibrated one. We are happy with the product and want to order more units.

The wind logger is installed near a cow barn, where I rented the roof, to put a 152 kWp PV-plant. Thus, it would be easy to connect a future wind generator with the electricity grid. To see if the wind is good enough to put a small wind turbine generator system in this area. I am loggin the wind for one year started in February 2023. Then I’ll decide to ask the local authority for permission. I installed the wind logger on a 12-meter pole. Looks like the wind speed in this area of Switzerland is not very promising. Although during winter wind is normally stronger, hence having windlogger is great decision.

The set up of the wind logger was easy and worked from beginning as promised. My problem to import the CSV file in Excel, was quickly solved by the Windlogger team.

Studying the aerosol/particulate material deposition for Atacama Desert, we set a west-east transect of dust traps starting close to the Pacific Ocean until the Andes Cordillera. To study the atmospheric deposition and its temporal-spatial dynamics we purchased 3 wind trackers close to the dust traps so we analyse the wind speed and direction. Excellent customer support with our first international purchase out of Chile.
