Newly Created Position To Develop Growing Market
for Triton Wind Profilers
Somerville, MA, December 9, 2009 — Second
Wind Inc., a leading provider of advanced measurement systems for
the wind energy industry, has hired Lee Alnes as Director of Business
Development. In this new position, Alnes will be responsible for
developing sales of Triton™ Wind Profilers to wind project
developers, utilities, engineering companies, and wind industry services
providers. The Triton Wind Profiler uses advanced sodar technology
for wind resource assessment, eliminating limitations of earlier
generation sodar systems and allowing wind developers to reliably
capture high quality wind data at up to 200 meters.
"Second Wind has a track record of innovation in the wind
industry, and the Triton is now the industry’s market-leading
remote sensing system," said Second Wind CEO Walter Sass. "Lee’s
accomplishments in consultative sales and marketing of complex technology
products and solutions make him a perfect fit for us. I am confident
that Lee will help drive the market acceptance of the Triton to new
heights."
Alnes comes to Second Wind with over 20 years of experience in technology
sales, marketing, and operations, including eight years in the wind
energy industry. Most recently, he played a key role in leading St.
Paul-based WindLogics Inc. to industry prominence.
"I'm very excited to be joining the Second Wind team. The
inability to easily get accurate hub-height wind measurement has
held the wind industry back for years. Triton is the most cost-effective
way to accurately measure wind speed and direction across the entire
swept area of a turbine blade which is critical for siting wind plants,
but also useful for efficient wind plant operation including wind
energy forecasting," Alnes says.
