💡 Good to know

➡️ What is an anemometer?
It is a wind speed measuring instrument, used in many applications: meteorology, renewable energy, light aviation, or outdoor activities.

➡️ There are different types of anemometers:

• Propeller (like this one), precise and responsive
• Cup, often used in weather stations
• Hot-wire, based on heated electrical resistance to measure air speed

➡️ For reliable measurements, it is important to place the anemometer facing the wind, at height and away from obstacles.

🛠️ Recommended Use

This propeller anemometer is perfect for testing a site before installing a wind turbine. It helps you verify the average wind speed over several days or weeks and optimize the performance of your wind system.

🔬 Understanding the different types of anemometers

There are several types of anemometers used in meteorological, technical, or amateur fields. Each has its advantages depending on the intended use:

• The propeller anemometer (like this model): compact, precise, and quick to use. It measures the wind speed through the mechanical rotation of a small propeller. Ideal for mobile activities or wind test sites.
• The cup anemometer: used in fixed weather stations. It captures horizontal wind via three cups mounted on a vertical axis.
• The Pitot tube anemometer: measures very high speeds (aircraft, wind tunnels) by exploiting dynamic pressure.
• The hot-wire anemometer: measures air speed through a variation in electric current. Very precise, but mainly used in laboratories.
• The ultrasonic anemometer: without moving parts, it deduces wind speed through the difference in sound wave propagation time. Reliable, but more expensive.

🧭 Our Wind digital anemometer with propeller is an excellent compromise between simplicity, precision, and robustness for daily use.

📊 Why use an anemometer in renewable energy?

Small wind or hybrid installations must be preceded by a site analysis. The anemometer allows measuring the actual wind speed over several days or weeks, which is crucial for:

• Estimating the expected electricity production,
• Choosing the right wind turbine model according to local wind speeds,
• Optimizing the installation location,
• Avoiding unpleasant surprises due to insufficient exposure.

💡 Best practices for reliable measurements

• Always orient the anemometer facing the wind, and hold it at a sufficient height (more than 1.50 m from the ground).
• Avoid areas where the wind is disturbed by buildings, trees, or terrain.
• For regular readings, note the maximum speed, the average speed, and the ambient temperature.
• In case of comparison with other tools (such as an ultrasonic anemometer or a cup anemometer), ensure that the measurements are taken at the same time and place.
