Collecting and managing data from wind farm survey masts can difficult and very time consuming.
Hexatec have developed a special version of their Audit1000 software to make collection and management of survey data easier and cheaper. Data collection and validation can be completely automated and preconfigured analytical tools mean that site data is immediately available as a report from the system’s secure web-server.
Automated Data Collection
Hexatec’s Wind Farm Prospecting software automates the data collection and data inspection process from multiple sites.
Running on a central server at your office or in a remote data centre the system fully automates the data collection process via remote links to the data loggers on each site.
Data Validation
The raw data then validated to check that all the instruments are working and returning valid readings. Any failures or faults are immediately notified by e-mail or text message.
To ensure full traceability, an instrument database records all instruments, their calibration records and their location. This ensures that the meaning of the data is kept together with the wind data and is instantly available for inspection and checking.
Instant access to trend graphs displays also provide engineers with a quick and easy method to visually check the quality of the recordings.
Data Analysis
Once validated, the data is analysed for wind speed and wind direction frequency distributions. This derived data is used in many of the survey reports.
Instant access Information & Reporting
Data from any survey site is available on a secure web-site so it can be viewed and analysed from your desktop PC or even when on site, so if you need the wind the wind speed profile for the last week or last 3 years, it is simple.
To extract data for analysis in ‘WindFarmer’ (Garrad Hassan & Partners Ltd) or similar, is easy. Simply select the mast and the time period required and the system will deliver a file to you.
