Between December 2017 and March 2018, the median temperature was -8°C, with a minimum temperature of -25°C on February 2018. On the other hand, the highest recorded temperature was 28°C on May 2018. According to historical weather data for the measurement site, temperatures can go as low as -30°C.

The processes that produce wind are complex and dependent on many factors - some examples are air temperature, the distribution of land and water, and even Earth’s rotation. In simple terms, wind is caused by a pressure.

Weather scientists have studied windshear in depth, developing many mathematical models to describe it. Windshear is normally combined with turbulence, which can be described as a random three-dimensional movement of the wind. Turbulence is caused when the wind interacts with natural or man-made obstacles.

Although there are plenty of generic data loggers in the market, to measure the wind effectively you need to invest in a wind logger. Weather monitoring has special requirements that exceed the design parameters of most generic data loggers, and as a result they miss plenty of important information

WINDCRANE focuses on durability and heavy-duty applications, while providing the most common weather measurement options: wind speed, wind direction and temperature. However, additional inputs are available on request. It is also a user-friendly system that comes factory-configured and minimises installation time.

Two Reasons Why Small-Scale Wind Power is a Great Investment

Small-scale wind power systems can achieve very competitive upfront costs because they require less specialized components compared with larger wind turbines. Also, the UK and other countries with a Feed-in Tariff tend to offer the best incentives for smaller installations.

Feasibility studies for small-scale wind power installations tend to be expensive, when viewed as a percentage of total project cost. However, the WindLogger kit from Logic Energy allows site assessments to be carried out for just a fraction of their normal cost. A feasibility study can make the difference between a highly lucrative project and a wasted investment!
