NRG Systems introduces WindWatcher for small wind turbines

A new assessment device for complete and accurate wind data...
Vermont, USA-NRG Systems Inc., a leading manufacturer of wind
energy assessment systems for the global wind industry, has introduced
WindWatcher™, a performance monitor designed specifically for small
wind turbine applications.
WindWatcher, measures wind speed, gust, and direction. It uses that
data to calculate average wind speed and power density, providing a
complete assessment of a site and the turbine's performance. All
statistics are continuously updated and instantly accessible from the
LCD panel on the performance monitor and the unit stores one year's
worth of data, allowing for historical comparisons.
NRG Systems president and CEO, David Blittersdorf, said, "Unlike
weather stations and inexpensive totalizers that provide only a
fraction of the data required for assessing wind, WindWatcher measures
everything the small turbine owner needs to evaluate wind conditions
and make accurate comparisons."
WindWatcher requires no software or computer connection. It is easy
to use and install, and its small size and neutral color allow for
installation in any indoor environment.
WindWatcher will be among the products featured by NRG Systems at
the Global Wind Power 2004 Conference, being held March 28-31, in
Chicago.
NRG Systems was founded in 1982 by David and Jan Blittersdorf. NRG
wind energy assessment systems can be found in more than 100 countries,
serving electric utilities, wind farm developers, research
institutions, government agencies, universities and homeowners.
