What is important to know when installing sensors and equipments?
Sensors and equipments installation is a very important aspect of a wind assessment campaign. In fact, the accuracy of the data obtained from instrumentation mounted on tall towers is directly related to the mounting technique. The support hardware, other instrumentation and the tower itself can all affect the airflow in the vicinity of the sensors. Therefore, careful placement of sensors will limit the interference and help ensure high data quality. It is important that wind sensors must be mounted onto the tower with independent booms. Also, mounting hardware must be horizontally leveled and long enough to minimize reading errors.
