Hardware

 The Hardware of this package consists of two cup-type anemometers to provide wind speeds at different heights, a wind vane, an electronic kilowatt-hour meter, mounting hardware for the sensor clusters and a set of interconnect cables.

 The hardware for the Sentalis 1000Wind can be expanded to include an rpm sensor, a vertical anemometer, mounting hardware, and cabling. The air density option adds a barometric pressure transducer, a thermistor with a gill shield, mounting hardware to position these sensors near the wind turbine hub height and an integrated cable.

Graphical User Interface

 Through this package you will have access to graphs in two-day, past week, and past month formats of AC power and energy, wind speed, wind direction, and total system efficiency. The user can also define a custom time period for graphing any of these parameters. The statistics area displays year-to-date totals, yearly summaries, and the total energy generated over the life of the system.

  For a more detailed analysis of wind turbine performance, the Sentalis 1000Wind can be equipped with additional sensor so that you can graphically interface and monitor turbine rpm, wind vector/turbulence, wind shear, tip speed, and AC power metrics. Hardware to this added functionality
