One Energy collects information about wind in order to properly build and operate wind projects – but just how is this information collected?
Last Science Shorts, Project Engineer Ben introduced you to the North Findlay Wind Campus weather station and MET Pole, which use wind instrumentation to measure weather and climate data. Now, Head of Project Planning and Technology Jessica is taking a deep dive into how some of these tools actually work!
In this episode, Jessica is focusing on anemometers, which allow One Energy to measure the most important data we collect: wind speed data!
Watch and learn as Jessica covers both cup anemometers and sonic anemometers – their functions, uses, differences, and related equations. Then come back for the next Science Short to learn about the third instrument we use: LiDAR units!
