Wind energy
has been historically used directly to propel sailing ships
or converted into mechanical energy for pumping water or
grinding grain.
Today's principal
application of wind power is the generation of electricity.
With 8000
mw of installed capacity, India is ranked fourth in the world
in total wind power capacity.Wind farms have many turbines
and each extracts some of the energy of wind. Usually sites
are pre selected on basis of a wind atlas. Collection of site
specific data for Wind Speed and Direction is crucial for
determining the right site.
ACD WINDDATA
LOGGER VDL 09 has been designed to cater for the
need.
