Sonic wind profiler said to provide lowest total cost of ownership

By Paul Dvorak | December 26, 2014

Vaisala Triton Wind Profiler may be the wind industry’s most trusted remote sensing system and the best value for wind measurement.  The Triton remote sensing system, provides:

The self powered and ultra-low-power Triton consumes just 7W on average. Simple extended power options are available for extreme northern latitudes. For example, Triton has been used successfully north of the Arctic Circle.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – While Triton always costs less to purchase than any other proven remote sensing system, did you know the day to day cost of operation is also well below a hub-height met mast? The company provides guidance for calculating the Triton TCO.

Reduced uncertainty – Measuring at higher heights reduces uncertainty in wind project energy estimates, whatever technology is used. Want numbers? Deploying a Triton for one year in a scenario developed by DNV-GL reduces energy yield uncertainty by 11%.

Accurate data recovery – Triton data accuracy and data recovery have been validated through hundreds of correlation studies performed by independent laboratories and respected wind developers. Recent improvements to the Triton hardware and firmware have improved data recovery across the board. Contact us to see the proof.

Completely self-powered – Other remote sensing systems may look small and efficient, but they rarely show the big, heavy generators and fuel supplies you need to power them. For off-grid situations like most wind development sites, the self-powered Triton (ultra-low-power, just 7W average power consumption) is still your best choice. Simple extended power options are available for extreme northern latitudes and Triton has been used successfully north of the Arctic Circle! Learn about Triton’s power options.
