Meteorological Tower for wind measurement in La Altagracia-Higüey, DR

In this case, Telener 360 was contracted for the installation of a meteorological tower for a wind resource measurement campaign High quality with low flow distortions and uncertainties. The service covered the mast installation and assembly process, including the configuration of the structure and arrangement of the sensors, the wiring and programming of the data logger, and the implementation of the power system and other components.

The tower, model TZ-90, has a section length of 3 meters and a hot-dip galvanized structure coating.

Orientation of the mast was made as agreed with the client, referring all directions to the geographical North (True North). An adjustment ( offset meters) to the weathervane measurements to align them with true north.

Anemometers, wind vanes and other instrumentation they were installed on specific brackets, designed to meet the requirements of the IEC 61400-12-1 standard and minimize flow distortion. Each sensor was calibrated and installed following IEC standards and MEASNET recommendations.

For monitoring and data collection, an Ammonit Meteo 40M plus datalogger was installed to control the sensors and record the measurements.

In addition, an autonomous night beaconing system and an atmospheric discharge system were installed on the mast; as well as a solar energy generation system to guarantee self-sufficiency de la Torre. This system integrates a 100 W photovoltaic panel and a 40 Ah battery.
