Services
We
can offer a complete on-site meteorology/wind mast installation, data collection
& analysis package, or individual components to suit the customers
own requirements as appropriate, anywhere within the UK. (Please
contact me if you have other locations you would like to discuss.)
We are now also able to
provide feasibilty studies for small scale wind and hydro turbine installations,
(and solar if appropriate), and any subsequent system design and installation
requirements.
Equipment available
for hire includes 10Metre, 15Metre & 30Metre monitoring masts, complete
with associated instrumentation and datalogging hardware. Hire charges
from £25 per week - 10M mast for a six month hire period.
Site installations
are carried out to a high professional standard, ensuring the very highest
levels of data capture. Site access is typically by a 4x4 vehicle
with low ground pressure tyres, minimising surface damage and maximising
accessibility. The guyed masts, being of low solidity ratio, tend
to blend in with the environment - giving minimal visual impact .
We are versed in ensuring
that the wind data collection requirements of ETSU-R-97
are met and can also provide cost effective data, improving the likelihood
of Clear Skies
grants being awarded for installation of smaller turbines, (<25kW) such
as those manufactured by Proven,
Gazelle
or Renewable Devices (Swift).
We are also well placed for monitoring work relating to the 'Strategic
Search Areas' defined in Planning Policy Wales TAN8. (Technical Advice
Note 8, Planning for Renewable Energy).
