Description
DESCRIPTION
The micro-dataloggers MicroVEN1 are professional acquisition systems for anemometric data, designed and built by Geoves in compliance to IEC61400-12 norms and WMO guidelines. MicroVen1 is extremely compact, with very low consumption and very cheap, characteristics that make it particularly suitable for Micro and Mini wind applications where the investment for the anemometric campaign must be minimal.
MicroVen dataloggers have been certified by Measnet laboratories, which represent an International Network recognized from banks when the certification of anemometric data is required for the eolic energy investments. The Measnet establishes the fundamental criteria so that the detected anemometric measurements have a total significance to derive the wind producibility of a site.
For this reason the MicroVEN dataloggers are provided with Windgraf1 software which allows to upload anemometric data, insert the power curve of desired wind turbine (released from the manufacturer) and get all specific elaborations to have all info on eolic producibility of the site (Weibull, Wind Rose, hours of wind frequency, etc…).
ADVANTAGES
- IEC61400-12 conformity and MEASNET certification for bank investments
- Continuous sampling (1Hz = 1 measure x second) of measurements. Sampling >1s are not meaningful for eolic energy monitoring
- Elaborations every 1-5-10-15-30-60’ of minimum, average, gust, standard deviation and turbulence
- Data storage on SD Card memory, data protected against tampering (bank requirements). Autonomy>500days
- Multifunction buttons to insert the anemometric constants (slope and offset), setup of date and hour, scroll the measures and the battery data (diagnostic)
- Display LCD
- Very low consumption and long life of backup battery
- Protection: very high immunity to lightning (sensors not powered or galvanically isolated)
- Possibility to connect passive anemometers of other manufacturers (Davis, NRG, others on request)
- Possibility to connect a specific thermometer for the measurement of the air temperature, useful to evaluate frost and ice formation on the sensor and to determine the air density
- the stored data in the SD Card are in text CSV format (Comma Separated Value); the data can be read on the PC by any software such as Notepad, Excel, Access, etc…
- Easy to use and install
