Wind Resource Measurement System

You should always do the necessary research to understand the available energy from the site location of the turbine. Direct monitoring with the use of a wind resource measurement system at the site you have chosen makes it possible for you to get the clearest picture of the available resource. You can use your own wind measurement system or hire a wind energy professional to take the measurements which may cost you between $600 and $1,200. You should set your measuring equipment high enough to avoid turbulence from the trees, buildings, and other hindrances. The most useful measurements are the ones that are taken at hub-height, the elevation at the top of the tower in which the wind turbine is actually installed.
