Site developers, meteorologists
and wind energy consultants will now be able to
use sodar more often and more affordably. The Triton™ sonic
wind profiler is designed to address the common
challenges that have limited the use of sodar for
wind resource assessment. It captures accurate
wind data at heights up to 200 meters under most weather conditions and in most locations without being attended. Readings
are delivered via satellite and look like anemometry
results.
We didn't invent sodar. We just
made it accurate, easy, rugged, and affordable.
Features
More
accurate data. A patented hexagonal
speaker array focuses sound beams
more effectively than previous designs,
which improves signal-to-noise ratio
accuracy and decreases disruption.
The array is housed in a tri-lobed
acoustic enclosure, which reduces
the chance of sound artifacts disrupting
data. Overall Triton correlation
to met towers is about 98%, without
echo correction.
Unattended use
in any location. With a
power consumption of less than 7
Watts, one or two solar panels
and battery can provide adequate
power for the Triton system to operate
indefinitely, depending on available
sunlight. Bundled with Skyserve satellite
wind data service, the Triton profiler
delivers accurate wind data to any
computer from virtually any location.
Ready-to-read data. Unlike
previous sodar products, Triton delivers
easily understood data that is similar
to data from conventional meteorological
towers. The SkyServe satellite
data service displays, archives,
and processes your data via the web.
Works in any weather.
Triton is made of rugged plastic
with stainless steel components and
sound absorbing material that functions
when wet, unlike foam. Triton has withstood
rain, ice, and harsh winter conditions. We
offer an optional ice/snow module to
keep Triton ice-free for winter operation.
More portable and
less obtrusive. At six feet
tall with a six foot by four foot
base, Triton will fit in the bed
of a full-sized pickup truck, or
can be towed in a trailer. The system
has internal controls to compensate
for uneven ground, and a built-in
GPS and compass identify the time
and location of data as it’s
captured.
