In order to assess the wind energy potential at the site in Oberzeiring,
a simple Windsiter measuring system on a 10
m met mast was erected in 1997. After just a year of measurements
it was clear that the excellent wind values
made this site a promising location for a wind park and justified
the investment in a more complicated wind measuring system. The
10 m measurement system also remained at the site and has run without
problem since 1997.
A 50 m met mast was erected in June
1999. This would give more precise information about the wind conditions
in hub height of the future wind turbines. The measuring
equipment included various sensors which would collect detailed
data necessary for the wind park calculations.
SODAR measurements (SOund Detection
And Ranging) were carried out by the German Wind Energy Institute.
This data would be needed to examine the effect the complex terrain
had on the wind conditions at the site.
