Hinesburg, VT (USA) - NRG Systems, the global leader in wind assessment technology, introduced new products at the 2004 Global WindPower Conference held in Chicago. The products included new heated sensors, enhanced Symphonie iPacks^TM, and the WindWatcher^TM performance monitor designed for small wind turbines.

The new heated sensors, developed in response to customer requests for turbine control in extreme icing conditions, are hotter than NRG's popular IceFreeII models, yet require no significant additional power to reach the higher temperature. The new sensors are backward compatible with prior models of IceFree sensors already installed.

NRG Systems was the first in the wind industry to offer an internet-enabled data logger with Symphonie^TM. Used in conjunction with a Symphonie data logger, the new Symphonie iPacks enable users to have their wind data delivered right to their desktops from anywhere in the world. The enhanced iPacks now include communication modules for satellite and cellular (DoCoMo and CDMA) technologies.

NRG Systems' WindWatcherTM performance monitor measures wind speed, gusts and power density, providing a complete assessment for small turbines. WindWatcher requires no software or computer connection. All statistics are continuously updated and instantly accessible. The unit stores one year’s worth of data, allowing for historical comparisons and verification of small turbine performance.

NRG Systems manufactures assessment products and systems exclusively for the wind industry. David Blittersdorf, company president and CEO, said, "Accurate, reliable data is the lifeblood of our industry…Our customers know they can depend on us to deliver precise and reliable products."
