 Somerville,
MA, April 9, 2009 — Second Wind Inc., a leading provider
of advanced software and instrumentation for the wind energy industry,
has hired Peter Gibson as Vice President of Sales. Gibson's main
efforts will be focused on developing the global market for Second
Wind's
leading-edge wind resource assessment systems. Second Wind's
newest product, the Triton™ sonic wind profiler, uses advanced
sodar technology for wind resource assessment, eliminating some of
the limitations of earlier sodar systems and allowing wind developers
to capture accurate wind data at up to 200 meters in real-time.
"Triton is changing the way wind assessment is done," Second Wind President Walter Sass said. "It provides more data and allows the technology to be deployed and redeployed at multiple wind sites. This newly created position fits with our plans to communicate the value of Triton and its advanced technology to a global wind industry."
"Second Wind has a track record of innovation combined with strict quality standards and excellent support," Sass said. "As the industry embraces our new technology, we are attracting experienced executives and talent. I am confident that Peter's background and skills will help to drive sales and productivity to new heights," said Sass.
Gibson comes to Second Wind with over 20 years of experience in the energy industry. With a wide understanding of both conventional and renewable technologies, he has built and led sales teams in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, with globally recognized companies including Rolls-Royce, GEC Alstom, and DTE Energy.
"I'm passionate about sustainable, clean, renewable energy resources and
the benefits - both environmental and economic - that they'll bring to
our nation, our communities, and to future generations," Gibson says. "Wind
has already demonstrated that it can compete with traditional fossil-fired
power generation resources, and with the additional costs facing carbon
emitters, wind's future looks even more enticing. Triton's technology has
already been successfully validated in the field with established players
in the wind industry, and I am looking forward to seeing it become the
standard in wind resource assessment technology."
