How’s the weather up there? At One Energy, this is more than just a figure of speech. We need to monitor the weather and understand climatic conditions in order to safely and effectively site and operate wind turbines. Find out why in this episode of Science Shorts!
This episode, Project Engineer Ben introduces us to Glinda, the One Energy weather station located at the North Findlay Wind Campus!
Find out how we use Glinda to measure things like wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, and icing conditions.
Ben will also explain One Energy’s on-site MET Pole (or meteorological tower) and its additional methods of measuring wind speed and wind direction.
Finally, learn how all this data is collected and processed using One Energy’s data logger. Ben describes how and why One Energy uses this data when planning, developing, and operating our Wind for Industry projects.
