Information for wise decisions.....
IEDat provides customized statistical and graphical analyses of all types of environmental data, including meteorological, ecological, and geographical data. We commonly work with large datasets from complex projects related to energy and environmental applications.

Wind Energy Consulting

Integrated Environmental Data can assist with wind energy resource assessment through measurement and data analysis services.

  1. Sodar for wind energy in collaboration with AWSTruewind, Inc.

    SODAR (SOund Detection And Ranging) uses sound energy to probe the lower atmosphere. By analyzing the Doppler frequency shift of the backscattered sound, the profile of the wind speed and direction up to 300 m is determined.

  2. Terrain Analysis

    Complex terrain leads to complex wind profiles. FLY! animations and terrain profiling techniques can improve understanding of wind flow in complex terrain.  Here is an example animation (3.5 Mb).  IEDat uses PCIGeomatics, Inc. software for GIS/Remote Sensing data analyses.

  3. Meteorological Monitoring & Data Analysis

    Long-term monitoring of wind speed, wind direction, and wind shear are essential for wind resource assessment.  IEDat offers monitoring and data analysis for the wind energy community.
