Triton Sonic Wind Profiler cited as leading innovation
in renewable energy
Somerville, MA, January 12, 2010 ––One
of the world"s leading renewable energy publications has recognized
Massachusetts-based Second Wind Inc. as a finalist in its first-ever
Excellence in Renewable Energy Awards. Second Wind, a leading provider
of wind information technology, was named a finalist last week by
RenewableEnergyWorld.com in the category of Innovation in Renewable
Energy for its game-changing Triton™ Wind Profiler.
"Remote sensing is changing the way the industry measures
wind and uses information," says Second Wind COO Larry Letteney. "The
ability to measure wind at all the heights across a typical turbine
rotor is giving project stakeholders the ability to make better,
faster decisions about everything from wind farm siting to maintenance
planning."
Triton, commercially introduced in 2008, is the wind industry"s
market-leading remote sensing system. "We have by far more
systems deployed in commercial use in the wind industry than any
of our competitors," says Letteney, citing Triton"s low
power requirements, portability, and ruggedness as reasons for Triton"s
market leadership. "We appreciate RenewableEnergyWorld.com"s
in-depth coverage of the wind industry and we are honored to be recognized
by them in this way."
"Second Wind was chosen as a finalist from hundreds of nominations," says
RenewableEnergyWorld.com"s managing editor, Jennifer Runyon.
The award is being inaugurated this year because "we see so
many fantastic projects, and this industry is so full of innovation
and growth and excitement. We wanted to recognize the best projects,
programs and people out there."
The finalists chosen for the Innovation in Renewable Energy award
were deemed to be groundbreaking or innovative, important in size
and impact, and newsworthy, said Runyon.
The final awards will be announced on February 23, 2010 at the Renewable
Energy World North America Conference and Expo in Austin, TX. For
