Dataloggers used in Wind MonitoringOur dataloggers can make and record measurements and control electrical devices. They can function as PLCs or RTUs, and have many channel types, allowing nearly any sensor to be measured on a single unit. For example, one datalogger can measure strain on turbine blades, wind speed, and power output of the turbine, even while controlling peripheral devices.
Wind Monitoring SensorsAlmost any sensor can be measured by our dataloggers, allowing the wind energy system to be customized for each application. Typical measurements include, but are not limited to: wind speed (anemometers, class 1 MEASNET, ultrasonic, heated sensors sup-ported), wind direction, air temperature, differential air tempera-ture, relative humidity, barometric pressure, vertical wind, solar radiation, precipitation, ice detection, and lightning potential.
Communications The availability of multiple telecommunications and on-site op-tions for retrieving data or reporting site conditions also allows our systems to be customized to meet exact needs. Options include: Modbus, cellular, email, DNP3, FTP, TCP/IP, fiber optic, radio, serial, field display, satellite, and Wi-Fi. Systems can be pro-grammed to send alarms or report site conditions.
SoftwareOur PC-based support software simplifies the entire data acquisi-tion process, from programming to data retrieval to data display and analysis. Our software automatically manages data retrieval from networks or single stations. Robust error-checking ensures data integrity. We can even help you post your data to the Internet.
Custom SystemsMost of the systems we sell are customized. Tell us what you need and we’ll help you configure a system that meets your exact needs.
Wind Energy Case StudiesOur wind energy systems have helped a variety of organizations reach their goals. The following are just a few of these:

DATALOGGERSAlso known as Data loggers, Data Recorders, & RTUs
Dataloggers are the heart of a data acquisition system. They measure sensors at a specific scan rate, process data, store the data, and initiate telecommunications. Our dataloggers also have control capabilities allowing them to respond to specific site conditions by
opening flood gates, turning fans off/on, etc. All our dataloggers share similar measurement and programming capabilities. Selection of the appropriate datalogger depends mainly on the type, number, precision, and speed of measurements required.

Custom SystemsAt Campbell Scientific, we believe in offering our products in turn-key measurement solutions as either a standard package built to industry standard such as the Solar1000 or built to our client’s specification. Our Custom System Integration Services include an
extremely diverse suite of high quality and high value options. We work with our clients on configuring these options into a system that meets their exact needs.
Description
Dataloggers, Sensors, Systems Our dataloggers can make and record measurements and control electrical devices. They can function as
PLCs or RTUs, and have many channel types, allowing nearly any sensor to be measured on a single unit. For example, one datalogger can measure strain on the tower, wind speed and other meteorological conditions, and power output of the turbine, even while controlling peripheral devices.
The dataloggers are extremely versatile and support a large range of functions and measurements options, allowing our clients to control how the data are measured and recorded.
Data Retrieval, Viewing, Communications, and Software
The availability of multiple telecommunication and on-site options for retrieving and viewing data or reporting site conditions also allow our system to be customized to meet our client’s exact needs. De-vices include: cellular, radio, satellite, serial, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and fiber optic. Protocols/standards include: PakBus, Modbus, DNP3, FTP, HTTP, XML, POP3, SMTP, Telnet, NTCIP, NTP, SDI-12, SDM.
Our PC-based support software simplifies the entire data acquisition process, from programming to data retrieval to network planning to data display. Our software automatically manages data retrieval and clock syncing from networks or single stations. Robust error-checking ensures data integrity.
PowerOur power supply options are as robust and flexible as our measurement solutions. Remote DC power options and on-site AC with DC backup power options including UL certification options are available to support a large range of power demand. Typical power supply options support low to high power requirements, ranging from 0.1 W to over 100 W.
CASE STUDY
Wind Farm Monitoring in California
CalWind Resources owns and op-erates a wind farm in Tehachapi, California. The wind farm has been in operation for many years, but with the new requirement to report data to the California ISO, CalWind Resources needed to procure and install new measurement and com-munication equipment. Campbell Scientific equipment was chosen to be installed on the wind farm in order to meet the measurement and communication needs.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) operates the whole-sale power system in California, with the goal of providing higher trans-mission reliability while controlling costs. The California ISO acts as a key platform to achieve California’s clean-energy goals. In order to meet
its goals and manage the power grid, the California ISO requires renew-able-energy generating facilities to report secure, real-time weather and power data.
Typically, a remote intelligent gate-way (RIG) serves as the primary means for secure communication between generating facilities and the California ISO’s energy management system (EMS).
For the weather data measurements, a weather station based on a Camp-bell CR800 datalogger was installed on a permanent meteorological tower, measuring wind speed and direction at two heights, as well as temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure.

A power meter located at a separate location on the wind farm is used to measure voltage, megawatts, and megaVARs. Data from both the weather station and power meter are reported to the RIG, which acts as a data accumulator and is the device that the California ISO communicates
with to gather all weather and power data from the site.
A CR1000 and NL200 are used to provide the RIG solution. The CR1000 gathers the data from both the weather station via the PakBus protocol and power meter via the
DNP3 protocol. The NL200 is used as a secure proxy server to provide secure DNP3 communications with the Cali-fornia ISO. Due to site constraints, a wireless IP network was implemented using IP radios to accomplish com-munications between the RIG, the weather station, and the power meter.
