IEDat at WindPower 2007
Kathleen Moore presented a paper at AWEA's Windpower 2007 event, in a sodar & lidar panel. The paper was entitled, "Classifying Rotor Span Shear Profile Variability and Improving Wind Turbine Production Prediction".
IEDAT Radar Facility in Use
As part of Integrated Environmental Data's expansion into the field of environmental assessment for utility-scale wind and other projects, IEDat has developed a radar facility to do bird and bat surveys. A Furuno 25 kW X-band radar has been installed in a trailer to constitute a mobile radar facility for radar ornithology. For the spring '07 migration season, 16 community members were trained to use the radar for a study of how migrating birds use the rural Albany county site under consideration for a community-owned wind farm. The facility is being used under the NYSERDA funded Community Wind project in rural Albany County.
IEDat at WindPower 2006
Dr. Kathleen Moore presented a paper at the American Wind Energy's WindPower 2006 conference and exhibition entitled, "Sodar Wind Profiles and Turbine Power Performance", co-authored with Dr. Bruce Bailey and Mr. Daniel Bernadett of AWS Truewind, LLC. The paper makes use of the extensive archive of sodar wind profiles measured at more than 93 sites in North America and Hawaii, to explore how turbine power output can be affected by varying shear throughout the entire turbine rotor plane (30m to 140m).AWEA's annual conference and exhibition is the premier wind energy event of the year, drawing an increasing number of exhibitors and attendees each year. This year's event, in Pittsburgh, drew more than 5,000 attendees. For more information on WindPower 2006, visit the AWEA website at www.awea.org
Community Wind Project at WindPower 2006
Integrated Environmental Data is involved in a NYSERDA funded project to do predevelopment work on a community-owned wind project in the Helderberg mountains of rural Albany County. Loren Pruskowski of Sustainable Energy Developments, Inc. is the lead contractor for this project. We presented a poster at AWEA's WindPower 2006 conference and exhibition, June 2006, in Pittsburgh, PA. The poster is titled, "A Community Wind Project in Rural Albany County, New York State," and it is authored by Loren Pruskowski, Kathleen Moore, Daniel Capuano, and Alexander Gordon.For more information on WindPower 2006, visit the AWEA website at www.awea.org.
