With over 900,000 hours of data gathered in wind studies to date, Triton is the market leader in remote sensing for the wind industry.

NREL Study Validates Triton Performance

“Our initial assessments indicate that the Triton data can be considered valid as a stand alone device for wind resource assessment and power performance studies as the industry moves towards requiring hub height and higher data to reduce uncertainty in turbine farm performance.”

What the experts say about Triton

“I think there is a great future for remote sensing. The combination of well validated SODAR devices and traditional anemometry is a very good one and GL Garrad Hassan is already using remote sensing data in combination with conventional methods and data.”

ECN Validation Study:

“The Triton can be considered valid as a stand-alone system for wind resource assessments, especially given the industry’s tendency towards higher hub heights.”
